There's a way out. Have you ever said to yourself, "Wow, my job really sucks"? Allen Cohen, a self-help expert who wrote the book "Why Your Life Sucks," says he's noticed more and more people in IT are not happy in their pressure-packed cubicle confines. Why? Maybe because of the constant pressures or the shaky economy -- or maybe they really just want to dance! Regardless, Cohen's advice if you think your life sucks is to take a quick nap or even a vacation. Charge those batteries! If you get laid off or decide to quit, think of it as an opportunity to prioritize. Maybe you could spend more time with your family or actually pursue something you WANT to do.
