Pfft, somebody carrying a gun didn't come to your place, yank you out, and force you to be a clerk. Neither a tech support guy or sysadmin. Do recall Guy's talk about how he
became a government accountant, however. His family farm was taken from him, collectivised, and he was put into accounting school. No choice. Do it or suffer. Do it or else. After all, it's the most efficient way to run things. Take people and make them do whatever is best for society to have them be doing! It's for the good of the many!
And do recall that this was essentially how Russia made its engineers, biologists, doctors. The state selected those who were deemed most apt for it, pushed them through schooling, and then sat them in front of a desk/etc. to do their job without ever asking if they're more interested in doing some other field.
