I disagree.

Overqualified people are almost always a bad idea for any job role. You 
dont want a technical manager doing generic IT helpdesk work. You'll 
find that someone having done 6 months of helpdesk in a specific 
deployment role to have exponentially higher productivity than the 
person who wrote the network protocol stack that is used on the 
deployment.[1]

A lot of the expertise that people have had in the past tends to be left 
behind in the past as its no longer used in such aggressive detail 
anymore. So the idea of personal development and growth isnt really 
overrated at all.

[1] I know people who do this sort of thing, dont think many of them 
would survive a helpdesk scenario more than a few days :)
