    Sympathy for the Dodgy

    An agent took me to dinner once. He asked ne, how long have you been in IT then? 20, 30 years, what?
    Something like that, I said.

    Have you known anybody else who worked in programming for so long? he asked.
    A few, I said. Obviously there were not so many of us that long ago, but nothing stops you doing it for 20 years.

    That's what I thought, he said. But I don't know any agents who have been in it for 20 years or more. I don't think anybody could stand it that long.



    So what is it: agent burnout from the pressure? Revulsion at what it takes to succeed? Or is it just easier to retire early as an agent having made enough easy money?

Working...
