From the article:

2: Persistence
End users will never really understand how computers work

Hmm, I think not. Plenty of people here who don't have jobs in IT who seem to know what they are doing just fine.

3: Youth
First, there are the hours. only the younger workers can keep those types of hours up week after week. Add to that the energy required to keep systems and networks up, and it should be obvious the best IT workers tend to fall into that 25 to 45 age range.

Hmmm. The same could be said about Medical people. In fact they probably have it harder, don't see too many IT people keeping the system up by pedalling away on bikes to generate electricity. Wandering about, typing on keyboards and operating screwdrivers more likely.

4: Patience
Users and clients are endlessly frustrating.

Wow, wrong job there. Some of us like user support and understand the frustrations users may be experiencing cause they got stuck with snotty boy to help.
