It isn't that no choices are made; it's that "I" don't make the choice. Rather, the choice happens as the result of the interaction of the three gunas, or Nature (according to MMY's teaching and the Gita). The "I" who doesn't make the choice is the same "I" who says, "I do not act at all." As to being out on the street without a job, that may be what Nature "wants." Nature may have something else in mind for me, for its own inscrutable reasons.
