I would usually agree with this BUT I think the exception is the I.T. industry where backpacks are very common at work. Then again, we are computer science, math, physics and engineering majors, so I think society has given us a "nerd pass" to use backpacks at work.
I have both a satchel and backpacks (multiple) and the backpacks are more practical. With a satchel, I can get one medium-sized technical book without the strap feeling like it is straining. With that JanSport backpack, I can put in 2 or 3 technical books, a lunch and water bottle...and my umbrella, LOL.
