I have two neighbors... one is a doctor and one is a truck driver..... wait... they would never live next to each other

These societal status's that come with job description are all related to the wealth of the family and how it relates to others. A truck drivers status in society is low because it is a blue collar job. Also being a truck driver doesn't require any education so the people that drive trucks have maybe dropped out of high school or college so they have a lower social status then other jobs that require education. On the total opposite side of the spectrum, a doctor requires many years of education which is a tough thing to do and also cost alot of money. So the cost and length of a persons education also effects a persons social status greatly. In class we talked about income relating to social status and the difference in income for blue collar jobs and white collar jobs. I thought this was intresting to think of how different the social status of a person can be depending  just on their job and income.
