Don't you find it odd that people will put more work into choosing their mechanic or house contractor than they will into choosing the person who grows their food?
A lot goes in my mind while choosing a role. Choosing unconventional roles is not a conscious decision. I choose the most exciting and challenging role from the options I have.
