Forced to work isn't the same thing as being forced to work for a specific employer.
I have to work because we wouldn't live as well on Mr. B's salary alone, and at one time his employer's benefits sucked ass. But I wasn't forced to work for a specific employer.
No, you're not forced to work for a specific employer, but points such as "nobody forces you to work there" are too simplistic to be of any real value. There are way too many varying factors to consider. While you may not be forced to work someplace in the most literal sense, often the "choice" isn't really a choice as the word implies.
I'm not picking on you specifically. This point is common and bandied about often by many people.
