[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Interesting class study in this thread. It’s very middle class to think you have earn something. Upper class doesn’t view nepotism and social capital as a character flaw but rather a sign that you’re smart and successful and worthy of the benefits this gives you.[/quote]
This. I have only seen people here talk so much about making it on their own with parental help and such. My parents love me and want to help me. I appreciate it. And then you pay it forward. [/quote]

I have mixed feelings about it. I was raised in a poor immigrant family, spouse in a family that has been well off for a few generations. Nepotism is how all of my in laws got their jobs, and they all had help with housing costs. They definitely don't feel badly about it and I don't think that they should.

However, I'm doing just as well as my spouse's siblings career-wise, if not better, with zero help or connections, and we paid for our own house. I have to admit it does feel pretty good. :lol:

On the other hand, I plan to help my own children as much as I can. Including jobs and housing. [/quote]
