I'm sorry but noone makes people choose that line of work. A lotta guys I know would have liked to have been football players but weren't 6' 3'' 300 pounds. Its basically know when you wanna be a jockey that you have to be light. I'd like to see the scale raised a bit, yes. But its not like Pat Day started the scale of weigths that has existed for decades.
