They may not actually be going home. They may be going to a second job or school, seeing their kids for an hour in the evening, and then going to bed worried about paying bills.

Low-wage jobs are their own cyclical trap, which can lead to not enough resources to improve your situation and apathy towards your day-to-day life. You can easily get stuck in a rut.

The low-wage thing was an example...

I don't think that neither the lawer nor the physician when they get home keep thinking about what their job...

For us coders is different, there was a question like: "What you think while you are coding ?" the majority of the answer was "nothing", the most part of my job is done when I am away from the keyboard, when I walk, dream, read, talk with other people...

I love it, but I am also scared that I am missing a whole word just because I am too focus on computer for a not even too long while...

Your view of the tech field sounds a little pompous. Medical and law are well known life-consuming professions.

I think any dedicated professional will have issues at some point unplugging themselves from their profession to pursue other facets of life.
