      my tentative theory is that women can move rungs much more easily then men, because they can marry up, and they take on their husband's class (within limits)

      and, of course, women can drop social class pretty easily by having kids while being unmarried

      Yeah my mom wound up in that situation via single parenting + other stuff Adopted dad's family is *happily* well-off blue-collar, but she never got comfortable or lost her assumption that she'd eventually be surrounded by teachers/pastors/ineffective local politicians again

      So I was raised with a *lot* of anxiety about appearing tacky or trashy, her aspirations for me involved marrying or becoming a doctor/lawyer whereas dad saw a path like blue collar geek/engineer -> tech/high earning geek to be a very natural and admirable path

      you know it's really funny hearing about attorneys/doctors being seen as high status i guess because I realize I havent thought about them that way for years like "oh you . . . practice one of the Professions--how delightfully quaint!"

      it would be interesting to see your class hierarchy what's higher than atty/doctor? fully vested SV dilettante? me: out-of-sight rich > CEO / exec > doctor/lawyer > middle trades e.g. engineering > mid-low trades e.g. teachers > low trades e.g. carpenters > labor > unemployed

      Yeah, I think that's about right--I have less insight into the lower tiers and their workings High tier tech employees def outstrip the modal doctor at this point, IMO. More agency at work, fewer hours, better pay and better working conditions

      Also it's an industry where entry and advancement are output-based rather than credentialed but perhaps this doesn't matter to most (Heh This is partly me flexing on doctors) I think I should look at this as a notch within a class rather than, like, a full separate rung, tho

      My respect for doctors fell a ton when I dated one. She was smart enough, but she and her friends were not REMOTELY as smart as me and my friends. Had many stupid opinions, little logic...and yet they thought they were gods.

      I think I lost respect for doctors when I did a BioC major and had to take classes with premeds They were wretched grasping people Except my buddy who is now a neurologist He slept with every woman I wanted and played WH40k and swapped his punk boots for opium Hes a great man

          this is why the phrase "living his best life" was coined
