"On the other hand there’s no easy way to join the upper middle class. A few gifted middle class students do so well academically that they can graduate from the elite undergraduate and graduate schools and get a job at BIGLAW or in investment banking, but that’s not how most of the upper middle class get there. "

Nice. And you have to do well enough socially to pass all those interviews, so you have to maintain good grades without being a grind.

So, yes, anyone can make it in America! If you're charming AND brilliant AND willing to go into hock...

See how the American dream is a load of s*?

There is something missing from this post. It failed to address the real source of status, power. What makes upperclass upper is the amount of control over society at large. You can start as a aviation mechanic and still be a upper class if you are in control of the state apparatus (police, military, etc).
