Lack of progress! (Score 1)

I appreciated that the article touched on the fact that burnout not only comes from working too many hours, but also lacking in reward (and not just $$$). I work in GIS for a State government office. Our role in the State is basically coordinating GIS activities in the State. We get very little buy-in from the executive office and none from the legislature. Even worse, where we see real potential in using GIS for some good (law enforcement, homeland security), we get very little traction. So, after years of this going on in my state, and watching other states succeed where we've met resistance or apathy, I've decided to pack it in. It's depressing to know what's possible and to one day realize it ain't gonna happen!
