...certain industries, especially those in which burnout and early retirement are common and demand for services is rising, the crunch has already arrived. As the population ages, hospitals can't find enough nurses or medical technicians. Drugstores are competing to hire pharmacists, bidding some beginners' salaries above $75,000. School districts and universities will need 2.2 million more teachers over the next decade, not to mention administrators and librarians, and are already avidly recruiting. Homeowners can't get their calls returned by skilled contractors, electricians or plumbers. Corporations are scooping up accountants and engineers. For job seekers who have...

...wanted to do everything, and in retrospect it almost seems that I did. Doing everything, especially things I love, made me happy. But my packed schedule wasn’t without its consequences.

...sent Cheney to the hospital. Rather, scar tissue had formed around the wire-mesh stent that was implanted last November to open a blocked coronary artery. This had led to a renarrowing, or restenosis, of the vessel. (Restenosis occurs in 20% of such cases.) Although one study suggests that "burnout" can trigger restenosis, the evidence is hardly conclusive and in any case doesn't apply to Cheney, who obviously relishes his job. "If you have a job you love, then you're lucky," says Dr. Alan Wasserman, chief of medicine at George Washington University Hospital, where Cheney was treated...

...schedules. An earlier end to the spring semester would assist students seeking jobs or summer programs that begin in late May, improving the reputation of the Office of Career Services. And the new schedule would save admissions officers from charges of hypocrisy, as they publicly decry student burnout and at the same time deny students so much as a single week of stress-free vacation.
