Is that a real question? The universe create the choices. This person offered a job - they are not God, they do not have control over the person. They simply offered a job. I guess you would rather they didn't offer the job?
> My question is, from your perspective unless someone is physically restrained then anything they do is purely voluntary?
Obviously. Although there are other kinds of restraints, threats for example.
I mean, any other definition leads to contradictions and ridiculous situations where employers are blamed for offering jobs to low value occupations.
I can't find it right now, but someone wrote an essay that basically boiled down to how when people help others, instead of getting credit for what they did do, they get blamed for what they could have done.
That's what you are trying to do. In such a world no one is willing to help anyone.
Don't do that, it leads to a horrible world.
