As someone who has adequately climbed the social and financial mobility ladder quite proficiently I can tell you that this is true…

They hate the lower classes. They actually hate me, too.
But, I’m hot and I’m useful so they let me play a role… disdainfully.

The key is to become really skilled, so very really skilled that they actually will be on a sinking ship if they kill you or let you onto another ship.

In this instance, your kid might live a better life than you… and maybe that’s the most you can hope for. If we’re being honest.
