Most security professionals experience symptoms of burnout at some stage in their professional careers. In one poll last year, over half of the security professionals surveyed said they were unhappy in their jobs. According to an online help guide, you might be heading toward burnout if:

* Every day is a bad day.

* Caring about your work or home life seems like a total waste of energy.

* You're exhausted all the time.

* The majority of your day is spent on tasks you find either mind-numbingly dull or overwhelming.
