Question 2

Alfred's grandfather Paulo immigrated to the United States with no money, but got a job as a janitor, worked hard, saved his money, and made sure his children were able to stay in school instead of dropping out to help support the family.
 
  Paulo's son Gabriel (Alfred's father) went to college on a scholarship and started his own small business after graduating with a bachelor's degree. Over time he was able to expand his business and make enough money to send Alfred to an elite university. Alfred then got into medical school and became an eye surgeon; he now has a high-salaried position at a major regional hospital, a home worth millions of dollars in an exclusive neighborhood, and a vacation home in ski country. This is an example of intergenerational mobility.
