[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A couple friend has a high-powered BigLaw partner woman married to musician man.

The guy is actually known in the music world and is often hired for studio sessions with famous musicians/groups.

It works because while he doesn't make a ton of $$$s, he does stay busy and he is far "cooler" than she is.  She has been to the Grammy awards several times and partied with famous people...she readily admits this is all from him and she never would have been able to play in that world.

I think she views him as equal status, even though the $$$ differential is massive.[/quote]

This is very different.   This is income difference, not class difference.  Her husband is apparently very successful in his world and is probably not threatened by her success in hers.

Someone who is also married to a musician who earns way less than I do.[/quote]

The guy is from a MC background and never went to college.  He has been a hard worker, but it's not like successful musicians generally come from UMC backgrounds or attend college if we are talking about a class difference.  For every John Legend (Penn grad that worked for BCG before hitting it big) there are 100 Dave Grohls (dropped out of HS to tour with Scream, worked his ass off into Nirvana...and the rest is history).

They are only now the same class because his famous friends are pretty darn rich and the perks are incredible.[/quote]
