Visa, or Master Card?

While typing up a section in my Dissertation dealing with social class differences in parenting styles, my mind wandered back to an observation I made to a co-worker, once:

Your brand of credit card tends to be class-based, it seems: If you’re working-class (or blue-collar), you probably have Master Card; if you’re middle-class (or white collar), you’re more likely to have Visa. Dunno why this is – but I’ve tried it out on a few people, and it seems to hold true.


Go check out your wallet or purse, and see if it's true for you. And feel free to mention your results (regardless of whether it works, or not), in the Comments section.
