[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So were would a public school teacher and a s##tlaw bank trust lawyer with degrees from rural low ranked state universities and working in rural southern countries rank. I feel G2 fits definition but is poorly matched to G2 front wake Forest working as a govt lawyer in DC? So which do I have wrong?[/quote]

Shitlaw would be a G3 job -- you do it just for the money.

Gov't Law might be G2....picking something for enjoyment, not just money.

Public school teacher, also G2.  They chose a career for satisfaction.  [/quote]

Interesting. An investment banker is ONLY in it for the money, let's not fool ourselves -  but it is listed as Elite here??[/quote]

I am thinking that people here might think it is elite, but in reality, not so much.  Expect, they are really trading on connections, which is a hallmark of elite. [b] I, on the other hand, look down on people who use connections as a commodity.[/b][/quote]
DP here. Which makes it obvious you're a member of the "Gentry". But I definitely agree with the reason that I-Bankers are Elite is that it's as much about connections as it is about money. Traders probably run more of a gamut depending on whether they are "Wolf of Wall Street" type boiler room traders or work for a more prestigious firm.[/quote]
