There's a parallel in amateur radio recruiting. From the ARRL

why there isn't more participation and - especially - why
there's so little love for their self-righteous precious, noble,
best-of-all-possible-modes (in their minds), radiotelegraphy.

Best of Luck. Don't forget that the job's not finished until the paper
work is done.
that we amend our military regulations so that each recruit to
the enlisted ranks would enter military service at the E-9 grade. This
would result in more participation by our citizenry and would prevent
harm to anyone's self-esteem. We could also do away with military
technical schools and the necessity for passing any exam which the new
recruit might view as hazing. Calling any recruit a "dummy" would be
banned.

It looks like the World's Greatest DXer can't tell the diff between
military service and a cool hobby.
