Paper Summary

College students' ratings of occupational prestige are influenced by factors like education, income, power, and social resources. The study found that there are inconsistencies in the ratings, with some high-prestige occupations having low ratings in other areas, and vice versa. This suggests that occupational prestige is not solely determined by income or power, but also by social resources.
