Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Occupation is an achieved status because it is something that a person acquires or accomplishes through their own efforts, skills, and abilities. It is not determined by factors such as birth or heritage (ascribed status) or inherent identity traits (primary status). It can also be constantly changing and evolving throughout a person's life (evolving status), but its initial acquisition is achieved.
