No, being a salaryman does not give you magical powers but being an adult male with over avarage IQ and the knowledge of the modern era physics and technology, not to say military story, will make it easier to learn and use the magic system of the world, especially when there are manuals and professors to teach you the basics so you can extrapolate from it.

There is also that pre-death Tanya was a regulation absolutist and would go out of his way to know how something works and what rules exist over the situation to follow them, which means a lot of new and inventive uses when dealing with magic.
