Re: Classism in fandom
(Anonymous) 2014-03-29 11:48 pm (UTC)(link)No... on the education thing. Yes, education is free in some European countries, and college/grad school are cheaper almost everywhere else. But most of the world, school costs money, even gradeschool. And in countries with more poverty, education is definitely a luxury that's difficult to afford, and thus a pretty fair indicator of class.
And, though it's not a 100% thing, I think it's safe to assume there is some correlation between higher education and higher salary in the US. Most rich people, or well off people, probably do have professional degrees.

(Anonymous) 2014-03-29 11:53 pm (UTC)(link)I see. Didn't know grade school (primary/elementary/secondary here) wasn't free, outside of North America. Though postsecondary education will bankrupt you (sometimes more than once) here, and now there is mounting evidence that all this highly-priced post-secondary education is actually increasing the joblessness rate, instead of decreasing it.

Definitely in America (and, based on heresay, almost everywhere else), even if the school itself is free, you often have to buy things for school (school supplies) that can actually be very hard on certain families - and while schools are legally obligated to provide for students whose families cannot provide for them sometimes either they are too poor to help much, or they drag their feet to force the family to buy the supplies themselves or go without them for months at a time.
