We shouldn't even be talking in terms of generations. Bloodlines exist in biology, but we need to completely disregard them when talking about social issues. Working your ass off so you can send your children to a good school and they can then live a better life than you did should be considered a societal failure, not a success story of economic mobility.
True mobility is when you can work reasonable hours at your horrible warehouse job, enroll in a higher education programme and in 2-3 years, switch jobs to something that pays better. No need to rack up decades of student debt, no need to work crazy long hours or multiple jobs just to afford a place to live.
