yes, but whats interesting is that if you select someone like a "carpenter"... middle of the line prestige?! you couldnt get your house built without them, but yet they hold only mediocre importance in the society.
yea, I see what you're saying but if you start looking at it that way everything becomes of high prestige. Without miners we wouldn't have electricity, without teachers no one would be educated, the list is endless.
Although I don't quite agree, I think the 'prestige' is kind of based on the level of education required to do that job. People are looked at with higher prestige if they had to worker harder to get to that job.
Very nice and really interesting to see the way we view economical classes. I like the way they labeled occupation by "Prestige", sounds so cool.
