[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] I earn twice that of an L1 but I didn't go to college and the business I own is rough and dirty. 
My children go to private school,  since they are young I can't  predict where they'll wind up;  I talk to them about how important it is to know how to do something better than anyone else no matter what it is, the love for my trade has made me a success and if  somehow I lost my business and all of my money I could very easily go right back to working in the field and could support myself and my family.  Of course heading back to L3 would mean no vacation house, boat or private school but we could live and be pretty happy eventually.

I came  from G3 but my friends are all L1 and 2.  The women my wife has made friends with through the kids school have been people with pretty similar backgrounds, there must be some kind of class radar.

Great post OP, this has been fun to think about. [/quote]

For dome reason,  Sopranos come to mind. Where do serious criminals fall?[/quote]

PP here;  I know some of them and they are nothing more than dressed up trash cans.  Because they are lacking in any sort of morality it blasts straight  through out of their children.  These are kids that you do not want at your pool party  because they never know when to stop, kids that you do not want your kids hang out with  because they are into things  at 11 that you didn't even think about doing at 20.  I don't think criminals get a stable spot on any ladder,  there are always exceptions but for the most part they lose their grip no matter where they are.   [/quote]
