Re: Classism in fandom

[(Anonymous)]

How educated you are does have a lot to do with perceived class, though. My father is a physicist and growing up, I definitely noticed that people were impressed by that and acted a bit differently once they found out. I'd meet other kids who seemed embarassed to say what their parents did after I said my dad was a physics professor. Professors don't get paid super duper well, so it wasn't our modest, lower-to-middle middle class family income people were reacting to.

Education can lead to a "white collar" job and, at the end of the day, "white collar" jobs are considered more respectible and higher-status than "blue collar" jobs, even though they do not always pay better. I know a public defender who says he made more working construction than as a lawyer, but I'm sure people perceive him differently now that he's a lawyer than they would have when he built houses because lawyer = ~*respectible*~.
