I don't think that covers it. When people are forced down a path, they find ways to rationalize why it's better than the alternatives. That is, you can't just ask someone to ignore job availability and expect that their view of the job actually does ignore job availability. Their view of the job probably has it already baked in. Self-evaluating a cognitive bias is hard.
