The Evolution of Career Paths
It seems to me that the quality of the kind of standard good career paths has changed. I think one thing that happened in the second half of the 20th century is that the gap between professions that were well paid and were extraordinarily well paid became much, much larger. The need to buy into those like positional status goods of being able to send your kids to those places or whatever seems to have become more and more desirable to people. But there's no good reason for it except it's become the sort of catch allwell, surely this is what I should do in order to make sure I become a member of the upper middle class elite.
