Put it this way, no child of the rich has ever been tracked into being an electrician.
Actually, it's worse. In the debate over the "Death Tax" (the GOP's absurd name for the
inheritance tax), a study pointed out that it's difficult for families to keep wealth in the
family. Usually, by the third generation, the money has been squandered and the family is
back to where it started.
So perhaps few children of the rich are electricians, but many grandchildren of the rich
can't even aspire to be electricians.
Irene makes a mistake in thinking that electricians are some sort of low-level job. She
hasn't paid any lately. Electricians earn solid incomes.
And it's a career with a future; electrical installation can't be offshored to China,
whereas loser professions such as attorneys, professors, doctors, and similar are easily
offshored.
