In your job, do all the good people leave and all the bad people stay?

That happened one time i had years of experience working as a deck hand on ships when I heard of a tramp steamer in need of a captain because the old guy had retired. Being needful of a job I applied fibbing a bit about my experience as sea captain but that I had misplaced my papers somewhere. So ok I was now captain of a tramp with cargo to be delivered to various places all the way down to South American ports. After some minor incidents of near capsizing,  running aground and entering the wrong ports we finally made it back to home part where the entire crew deserted -gave the impression me being sort of a bad person.
