Oof, the paper is tough to read. The default word formatting is not the best for tables.

I am wondering how marriage/relationship plays a role into career choices. I believe that people from privileged accounts are more likely to be in a stable relationship, which could (at least in part) explain why one partner can pursue a low-paying high-prestige profession while the other pursues a high-paying one.

When at least one is from privileged background they usually can both work lower paying jobs.

It's a lot easier to make a decent living out of it if you already own a house and your parents can act as a safety net in case unforseen huge expenses fall from the sky (e.g. if your parents total their car: you won't need to cover for them)
