Stuck in high-tech hell? There's a way out!
Have you ever sat down in your windowless world and said to yourself, "Wow, my job really sucks"? Allen Cohen, a self-help expert who wrote the book "Why Your Life Sucks" (upbeat title isn't it?) says he's noticed more and more people in IT are not happy in the pressure-packed cubicle confines of their professional lives. 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? Take a quick nap. Take a vacation. Charge those batteries, and 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.
