Interesting, I have a strong theory of the right answer (there *is* a right answer) and the polling is headed that way too.

This should really be a 2-dimensional poll with 81 class mobility choices (based on 9 Paul Fussell classes) on first dimension and 4 educational levels on second (high school dropout, high school, college, grad/professional).
