This. I've seen lots of DC people (mostly women) from LMC/MC backgrounds who see their UMC/UC classmates go into these low-paying, prestigious, nonprofit fields. They want to jump to the higher class, so they do the same. Then the wealthy classmates are buying nice condos and cars with family money. Then it becomes great homes, private school and nannies for their kids, etc. all with family money and/or their high earning spouse. Meanwhile the women from LMC/MC backgrounds tend to marry men from their same backgrounds and don't have the same HHI. Or they stay single because most men earning $150K+ want to marry women with a stronger financial situation. They eventually become disillusioned. They didn't realize that they were trying to live the trust fund lifestyle without a trust fund.

There should be a mandatory class in college that explicitly tells students that these jobs are for the trust fund set and were never meant to support a family.[/quote]
