Constructing an identity involves occupational choice, but those choices are shaped by the people who are available in one's environment for identification as well as the work opportunities” (Aries & Seider, 2007, p. 138). In other words, social class has the potential to place boundaries on individuals' career aspirations and choices as well as the opportunities throughout life that shape these aspirations and choices. A more in-depth examination of such choices might reveal that how development is understood within theories is rooted in and reproduces middle-class values of making “smart choices”

These authors suggest that identity is often treated as if it results from the choices people make. In other words, people are their choices. Yet there is a failure to recognize these choices are manufactured through structural inequality, which ensures that only certain groups of people have access to certain choices. Class inequality is reproduced to maintain stratification and inequitable differences between the lower and upper classes. The “smart choices” the middle class make keep them invisible and promote the myth of a classless society. “Although identity achievement involves choice, power and privilege are what dictates the choices one has”
