Yeah. But describing a social pyramid doesn't tell me what the fuck a social climber is.
Clearly a social climber is someone who is attempting to climb the social pyramid. BUt what is a "social climber job"? Isn't the point of socially climbing to move UP the job ladder (thus, implying changing job duties).
Clearly under this description a taxi driver makes 0 sense, since there is no promotional ability within the taxi firm.
SO in this case, I would say mail room clerk for a hedge fund. That is the job that has the most social climbing potential. But your original question is stated poorly and is dumb on-the-whole.

I accept your critic without problems as it's constructive.
IMHO a social climber job is one which makes you climb the social pyramid in terms of buying capabilities, aka making moneys and granting you or your children the next step up the social pyramid, not just a promotion in your own job.

A politician. Most start locally, in very small grass-roots or local organizations. A few become President of the United States.
White collar business careers probably do well too. This is because there are often clear lines of promotion.
However, any small business owner has potential.

This thread doesn't make sense to me.
At first, I thought the OP meant jobs that require kissin ass to move up. I would retail, fast food, and a maid. I've worked all but a maid, and I've seen people befriend managers to move up. Crazy how some places work.

so if I'm right some of you are agreeing that being submissive is the best option to climb up on the social pyramid?

nono - its been shown in research studies that being aggressive, tall, and male will help you climb up the social pyramid.

somebody else than me will argue that a petite submissive female can climb up much faster though  I think there are some famous examples around too.
