A component of social class is occupational prestige. Prestige means respect or regard. Certain careers have higher prestige based on pay, amount of education, the amount of autonomy, and abstract thinking. This is a picture with my grandma and a baby lamb that was just a couple days old. My uncles are farmers and based on looking at Table 8.2 Occupational Prestige chart, their job is not very prestigious. The most prestigious careers are physicians and supreme court judges.
