I personally think that it doesn't really matter what your occupation is for you to get abducted. It may be more along the lines of the ET's spot
you, think your a bit of alright, look pretty vulnerable, so they decide they'll snatch you and run some test.
Think about how Scientist will go out in the wild with the intent of finding a certain species of animal. They will sit and wait until they see one
that is usually bit itself and off guard. The Scientist will then tag it or capture it for tests etc.
ET's may have the same motivations.
