Few in the world have zero opportunity. Even the poorest of the poor have _some_ opportunities, such as collecting benefits, committing crimes, depending on employed members of their families, and so on. On the supply side, the question is opportunities relative to ability and ambition. Yoshie Furuhashi <<<<<>>>>>
opportunities, hence choices, are structured, even free choicers think that choice indicates that individuals make voluntary or unhindered selections from among *some* range of alternatives, of course, such folks go on to pretend that range is so wide wide that it's darn well reasonable to assume that choices reflect personal preferences, because, quite simply, people are in positions to act otherwise if they so wish...
if a worker 'selects' one job rather than another this surely indicates that the job chosen is the one which best satisfies inclinations and interests of person concerned, if such freedom is reflected in exercise of choice, then geewillickers, options available to someone are reasonable...
of course, what is considered *reasonable* may not be as easy to establish as claptrap explaining why it is ostensibly reasonable, forget high unemployment levels coupled with pervasiveness of poorly paid jobs in some communities, person's choice is voluntary and self-willed action, s/he can always vote with his/her feet... michael hoover
