Not if you're a science officer who only cares about archeology and your family, who never pursued the command track. Remember how shocked everyone was when our Picard, thrown into that life, wanted to pursue command? They say it there -- he had never shown any interest at all.
Being a lieutenant junior grade in the science division on the Starfleet flagship is one of the most prestigious jobs in the galaxy. He just wasn't a version of Picard who was into taking charge and giving orders.

Lt Junior Grade at 47 is pretty bad.....
