I'd probably be stuck as clerk,
Then I'd leave the Qun
You wouldn't enjoy doing something you were truly good at?
Would you enjoy cleaning toilets if you were really good at it?
I assume you mean being a janitor? Yes, why wouldn't I?
Are we even sure there is a "toilet cleaning job" in the Qun? Maybe its more generalised then this, so you might be cleaning toilets , checking inventory , steer sheep to cut grass or other similar duties. It would be pretty insane to have a toilet cleaning position really. And probably inefective during this time? Even today people cleaning toilets have other duties aswell, making it a well rounded work day. I dont think the Quns jobs are so mundane as people seem to think, and we also dont know how promotion works. It could be age related, so you clean toilets and stuff for 5 years, then move on to something else inside the producer caste maybe carpeting apprentice or other duties not involving toilets. Who knows?
Also, during thedas time period I would assume most people would be farmers/hunters/food makers. Very few would live in cities and have other duties other then making food.
Not knowing that much about the Qun, but how do they view extreme unwillingness? WHat if someone REALLY doesnt want to be a soldier, he will be a bad soldier. Is he killed? Or reassigned?
