While education plays a significant role in explaining income, some people with minimal education earn high incomes, and some with advanced degrees earn relatively little. What additional social factors do you think might help explain a person’s income? What impact might a person’s gender, race , ethnicity, religion, age or social background have on income?

The additional social factors that help explain a person’s income are how well the person dress, if you do not dress in nice things sociology would see it that you have a lower income and maybe be a lower class in sociology. Sociology see it if you have income to go to college that will turn into a degree that then turns into higher income sometimes it is base on which college that you went to and which degree that you got.  Some cases where your family is from is a social factor in a person’s income too. I think that the person's gender is a social factor in that person's income because in "manly" jobs usefully the men get higher income then the women do and in "female" jobs the women do get the higher income then the men do.  Also, the age of a person is a social factor in the person's income too.
