Today we will continue our discussion of how urbanization in the Renaissance effects us today.  We will look at the socioeconomic of that time and our time.  Below is the link you will need to start exploring what it really means to "work" in this country and where those jobs fit into our monetary-based class system.  It isn't an exact science, but hopefully it will offer you a greater understanding of our economy.  An economy that is an enduring impact of the Renaissance.

Use the link below (click on the orange text) to see where different careers fall in our class system.  There are also links you can use to factor the price of certain "everyday" items that you will need as an adult.  Remember not to spend outside of your class!  To find our what your monthly income would be, simply divide your salary by 12.
