[quote=Anonymous]16.43, a question for you: As a teen student in the 1980s, would you really have known whether or not your classmates parents were part of the 1980s version of "commercial class"? I was a teen then too, and TBH, except for the semi-famous ones, I couldn't have told you much about what my classmates parents did.  I knew some of their professions (dentist, teacher, salesman for a food company, etc).  But even for some of my better friends, I couldn't have told you then, and cannot tell you now, whether their dads (because it was almost all dads then) were big wheels or just regular office workers.  For example, if a classmate had said "my dad is a consultant for hospitals," I wouldn't have known enough asked any questions beyond that, and would have no idea if that meant her dad helped supply bandages, or worked as an accountant, or was really a CEO for a healthcare conglomerate.  Maybe it's possible there were a lot more "commercial class" types around than you realized, but you just didn't know enough about the particular industry to know? Maybe you were a lot more perceptive than I was?  [/quote]
