Failed caste system from mythology

There are innumerable examples in Indian mythology, where people have opted profession other than what is decided by their birth (caste system). There are innumerable examples where it was proved that being good or bad does not depend where a person takes birth.

Rawan although a Brahman by caste was a king of Sri Lanka.

Vishwamitra although a royal caste became a rishi and guru of Ram.

Mahabharata, good and devil both belong to the same family and hence same clan, race.
