> I think the value of the question is that, all things being equal, do you want the person who wants to be there because they have a connection to what you do, or do you want someone who just wants a job?
I think it's none of the businesses' business why I'm there for. Under the capitalist system, you need a paycheck to survive. Attaching conditionals to this is shitty, no matter how you try to justify it post-fact.
Also, you don't ever get "things being equal" with candidates. They just aren't.
