I guess it depends on what class your parents were in.
I was born into middle class and I always expect to be middle class.
The point I was trying to make is that the oppurtunity for social class advancement is no where near what it used to be. Hard work used to mean a lot more than it does now.
Neither of my parents had a college education and I do. It would stand to reason that I should be able to do better than they did but I am not going to end up making much more than my father made. He was able to work hard and did well for himself.
I am not saying it can't be done. It is just not as easy as it used to be.
