Having burned out a number of times, I think that perhaps you would benefit greatly from investigating what burn out actually is, and the causes of it, rather than making broad assumptions about it.
For instance, burn-out has less to do with what you are doing, and more to do with the stress and effort required. It doesn't matter if you're disarming bombs ("bomb technician," huh?) or grading freshman assignments. What's more relevant to it is the value you place on the task, the recovery time (off hours) you get, and level of stress placed upon you. Even the most dreary job can burn you out if the employer demands near-impossible targets.
Educate yourself, then you won't seem as much of an arrogant arse to the rest of the world.
So this more like a being sick of doing things temporarily?
What you are doing and the effort you have to put in is what puts stress on you isn't it?
> ("bomb technician," huh?)
Huh what? Wrong term? Are you seriously saying that job that puts your life in danger causes the same amount of stress as grading papers? Sure, grading papers can take effort, but come on... That is just plain wrong... Have you ever been in life or death situation? Not much compares to it...
If your employer demands near-impossible targets and you are aware of this and not living in the country where it is impossible to find another job you are the fault.
Maybe I am seem like arrogant arse but you seem like you are totally disconnected from reality.
