I think the original post explaining it is down, but here's a summary and analysis:

Yes, I've had the pleasure to have seen it before.

Here's the original: https://web.archive.org/web/20151006183427/https://michaelochurch.wordpress.com/2012/09/09/the-3-ladder-system-of-social-class-in-the-u-s/

This might be the stupidest thing I've ever seen.

Would a salaried IT security analyst be L or G? I sell my "labor" but it revolves around my knowledge of info sec. What's the difference between selling my knowledge and selling my labor? If I'm doing a task for my employer, isn't it "labor" regardless?

It's G3. Any job that requires you to go to actual college but is mundane is generally G3.

A step up as a researcher, writer, or scientist etc is G2 because now you're independent.

>>1262718
But researchers and scientists aren't independent at all. They rely on research grants from universities or governments or salary from private corporations. They need sponsors for their work.

Writers are independent but generally poor in an increasingly crowded market.

They can choose what grants to apply for though.

It's a nice theory but you can easily poke holes into it. I think a modified version with two branches (rat race and entrepreneurs/ successful business owners might make more sense) people will work hard and not smart for their entire life and barely have anything to show for it.

, where an entrepreneur can work hard and smart till they get to the point where they create a self sustaining system and reap all the profits from it. Even the traders on wall street are slaves to other people.

Except working entrepreneurs with large businesses are E3, entrepreneurs with small businesses are L1, and entrepreneurs with big businesses who no longer have to work at their own businesses are E2.

I don't care what your shitty model is. My model is accounting. net wealth net worth thats it.

where are skilled trades supposed to fit?

appartment maintenance manager makes $28 an hour, medical health chart auditor makes $26. both have slim chances of vertical promotion

who is higher on the social ladder?
