Who said I, or anyone, are supposed to pre select people for job positions? I just said I prefer to live in a place where I have options. If there are people who like what they do but aren't good at it, then I want someone who is good if not great at it, no matter if they like the job itself or not. If I can have both obviously that would be ideal, but I also know that's not typically how the world works and is more of a rarity.

We don't want borderline good enough most of the time, and we certainly don't want everyone becoming an extreme sports athlete or Hollywood star, or YouTube personality or influencer, etc, just because that's what they like. Many more Doctors, engineers, tradesmen, etc, wouldn't just be more useful, but are flat out needed, whether enough people like those positions or not.

Now if you and others like you, don't care at all, and are willing to accept whatever the outcome, even if that's inefficiency and mediocrity for the most part, that's fine with me and people like me, just don't try to force that on us. Whether or not that's the outcome, who knows? Maybe it will lead to a better system overall, but then prove it first somewhere where only fewer pay for a failure if it occurs, not everyone everywhere. If you are right and it works much better, then it will be pretty easy to get everyone else for the most part to follow suit.

Until then, people like me think the system we have is pretty good for the most part, but like most things, has room for well thought out improvement, incrementally. Just let everyone do whatever role they like, everywhere, starting now, isn't well thought out.

I haven't seen the new F4 film yet.

What do you think the current system is for people figuring out their careers? Because I would argue that it's largely that people do what they feel like they want to do given the options available. In what way is the system I have previously described not what is currently done? 

My goal is that certain sections of the community that previously were shut out from certain options are allowed that option. That they're encouraged to explore that option if that's something that they want to counter heavy societal pressure against it from previous times. I'm sure there will never be just perfect parody between every subgroup of the community within every career, but it is certainly improved and my only goal is not to go backwards in those freedoms. 

Nobody who meets the requirements to be able to work, should be held back from it, but they also have to be able to meet the requirements of the specific role. No weakening the requirements to allow for them to simply be able to do what they would like to. If they can't cut it, then they have to try something else. If they can't meet the requirements of something they like, then they'll have to do something they don't like (as much), or try and start their own business.

Money is also a problem. If we look at work like anybody should be able to do whatever they like, and everyone else should just accept it, then why not pay everyone the same as well? 'Think you're more important and should get paid more? Sorry, not anymore. Just accept it!' Well that will never work, but if there are jobs people really like to do, that pay poorly, many won't want those positions, so then what?
