Most people don't even get a foot in the door. The children of the rich and powerful get that, and a lot more
The children of the famous and powerful get more than a foot in the door, which Abcarian notes is a lot more than most others get. They also get movie roles, TV roles, production jobs, public relations jobs and recording contracts, to name a few.
After 30 years in business, I laugh when I see a famous last name in the credits, as I know from whence they came. These people often skip the mail room and “get a desk” immediately. They are no different than silver-spoon babies. They are not to be scorned...Nepotism is ubiquitous. There is no profession and no place in the entire world where nepotism doesn’t exist. It’s more noticeable among celebrities because they’re more exposed to the world.
Let’s be honest, there is no level playing field when merit is no longer a criterion and everything is based on nepotism and politicking.Abcarian’s column on “nepo babies” really resonated with me. From now on, I will not eat at restaurants that have been in the same family for generations.
