Perhaps it's a matter of expectations. No one expects a salesman/woman to close 100% deals or even 50%,a manager's job is pretty well known, and the stress associated with it is taken care of from the start. Lawyers get paid whether they get justice or not most of the time, data-entry clerks have jobs that end at the end of the day, and they won't be thinking about a product they coded that might have some critical flow and come back to bite them months after the release.
If I remember well teachers and medical staff have depression and other work related mental issues rates on par with programmers, so you would be right about the negativity they also face everyday.
Of course it's not the end of the world, it's just something that is not brought on the table so often I think.
