What were the compensations for the people who had jobs?

I can see why one might like to be a Sandman; besides the fancier apartment, you got power and a more exciting life hunting runners. And maybe the Doc and Holly thought of facial sculpting as an art form, but what about the guys who cleaned up the bodies? Surely riding around on those little hover machines turning dead Runners into evaporating strawberry jam wasn't that exciting. In a world where everything is free, why would someone take a job like that?

I didn't think they had a choice - that's why Logan 5 was visiting his "namesake" in the nursery, to see who'd be sandman after he was gone. Maybe just an assumption on my part but I thought it was implied that the nursery kids were basically replacements for the person so by the time one reached 30 the next one would be old enough to take their place. So whatever "job" the very first Logan or Jessica or Samuel you were named for had the most recent one, whatever number that was, had the exact same job. If that was the system they probably wouldn't question it except for the odd dissident who might refuse (maybe that's where cubs come from?). It would have been interesting to see if that's how it worked and if so what happens to people who won't contribute.
