On the other hand, those who came from $300k income families may have parental financial support, seed money for entrepreneurship (and/or a network of wealthy potential backers), and the “sheen” (read: cultural signifiers, comportment, language habits, dress style, social skills, shared interests) that allows one to easily blend in with the ruling class in corporate jobs (esp. the finance industry), or even trust funds. I know which group I’d prefer to be in.
