The airhead brothers probably had no choice in the matter, while Malcolm had a poor start and nothing to suport social mobility. Excuse me.... being a blacksmith was a decent, and honest trade.

Rumplestiltskin who was just a spinner, at least tried to make something of himself, and was a hard worker. Whether the Jones brothers wre forced into the Navy or not, once they joined they rose through the ranks.
