Career Growth?!

Second time I received this forward. Yea sure it's funny as a cartoon, definitely not when you see it in the mirror.
Curious thought: is it just the IT industry? Or is it just the beer? Or is it just that we don't have time for anything else in life outside work? Or is it that we tend to eat everything since we can 'afford' it? And why just guys?

PS: Just for the record, I think the picture is completely wrong, it's showing too much experience (far too much) than I actually have :)
