Description

This qualitative study by Matthys examines the life course of working-class university graduates. It explores how social transition from a working-class background to a middle-class milieu creates loyalty conflicts and communication barriers. The research highlights how a lack of social and cultural capital can act as a barrier to reaching management positions. Beyond professional capacity, the book analyzes how positions in key sectors are often allocated through obscure social connections and cultural codes. This Routledge Advances in Sociology volume provides a deep look at how identity and social mobility function in real-world career trajectories.
