This episode is an extended version of a conversation from "What class are you?", which is a periodic series on Vermont Public that explores everyday lives inside the American class system.
Dan Sedon grew up in Barnegat, New Jersey, in a house with a lot of books and not a lot of money. As a little kid, he and his friends hustled for jobs around the neighborhood — mowing lawns, washing cars, selling clams down on the commercial dock. Eventually Dan got a full scholarship to college, then put himself through law school, and since 1993, Dan Sedon has been working as a criminal defense attorney in Vermont … where he works with poor people and rich people and all the people in between.
Listen for new installments of "What class are you?" this week during Morning Edition and All Things Considered, and find the full series here.
