Possibly the choice isn't that different for people volunteering for military service due to not enough jobs/not enough education/inability to relocate, vs people who are in prison for something - no judgment re what - but no ability to relocate.

Millions of us take on jobs above our abilities, against our will, and hope for the best. Sometimes it's the best learning crucible.

How much choice does any one of us have? Don't we, mostly, respond to what life throws at us?
