Depends on the person and what they've dealt with. I've worked IT since '99, but I'm not really burnt out. There are definitely things I dislike, but I still enjoy tech, I still enjoy gaming, and I'm still interested in future tech, even if I do agree I don't like the direction it's going in.

Part of it is that I seem to have a pretty decent burnout warning sensor, and I just stop whatever no work thing moving me that way for a while. Yes I like games, but I like reading, I like climbing, I like biking, I like photography, I like nature, I like the stars, etc.

Another reason may be that while I dislike the way some tech is going, I have other worries about either nontech stuff or just the main reason tech stuff is going in wrong directions, and those worry me more, so tech can still be an escape from worse worries.
