More importantly - you didn't have a GovCorp cube job either. That was how they got a lot of people - "your job or your jab, choose now". Then there were all those athletes who needed to travel by air and there was a time when the only way they'd let you is to become one of those many test rabbits. And for a professional athlete, the choice is really stark - stop chasing that ball around and the only thing you're good for is flipping burgers.
I mean, you would've probably done better if you pulled the eject lever and didn't get it, but that takes courage, to leap into the unknown, especially if you have a wife and kids and mortgage chewing on you. And it was probably - you also had to be good at managing risk, which most people aren't.
Makes you wonder if on another timeline there was another you who did become a test rabbit. Maybe she wasn't seeing the future so much as seeing all the different stories and how they all played out.
