False dichotomy.  IT professionals work a lot, sometimes even during 
their dinners (or for 30-40 hours straight) and don't get paid like a CEO 
does.

False dichotomy.  Nobody has job security.  Getting laid off taught me 
that.  Especially in the US, where "right to work" translates to "right 
for your employer to let you go for any reason or even no reason" with 
very few exceptions.

False dichotomy.  See previous comment regarding IT professionals.
