That can be attributed to any profession, really. Mechanics who get sick and 
tired of fixing the same car problems, plumbers who get tired of fixing pipes,
etc etc.

Nothing wrong with what you said though.

I never really felt that way. I do what I do to survive and I figured out that
the rent, bills, etc don't pay themselves. I do have a level of contempt and 
disdain for customers that cause problems on their computers and "can't
understand how that happened". Windows prompts a few times if you wish to run 
a certain program or component; but nah, lets just click our way past that.

Somewhat back to topic; the recent DB newcomers who ask for my help are very
smart and outline questions as detailed as possible... it helps.
