We can speculate as much as we want, but until we get official word... or the game actually launches... nothing is really off the table.
I've gotta say I'm with you on this. It's not like they can't change things up from what's been hinted at already. There's a couple of other things that have been brought back into the light on the Beta forums that reinforce the suggestion that SCH is another intended job, but that's a discussion for *over there*.
