Hey, we’d like to guarantee your child a future of being one of the most important people in the galaxy, with all their needs met as we turn them into space wizards who fight evil.
According to a lot of “not movies” media, many people who were trained to be Jedi didn’t make the cut. It’s one of those things that required a combination of remarkable effort and sheer talent and most people who were potential Jedi just lacked the raw skill to be considered one. As such, the Jedi had a large support auxiliary of force sensitive attendants and custodians who basically took care of the grunt work of the Jedi order. They weren’t true “Jedi Knights,” but they were a part of the order. They just spent their time scrubbing toilets and doing paperwork rather than banging queens and dismembering enemies of the state with laser swords.
I would take any of those jobs over mine any day of the week. I get minor force powers but I gotta plunge a toilet and room and board is free? Yes please.
Somewhere, there was some poor Force Sensitive who got just enough of a connection to the Force to get massive anxiety while in the Temple but not enough to leave his gardening job before Order 66.
You are also forbidden from fucking and, I would imagine, also masturbating. I think that’s the most interesting question about the Jedi Order: do they let their weird virgin space cultists shoot rope as long as it’s not into a person? I’d imagine not.

I feel that there is high potential for someone who is force sensitive besides combat
Like force healers or a mechanic that can tell the internal structure of a machine and perhaps reattaching a wire without ever having to open it
Stuff like that I thing would be so cool and I feel it’s highly underutilized
Some lightsabers worked that way, in the expanded universe media. You could only turn them on by using the force to toggle an internal power switch.
