An achieved status is a social position that a person has earned through individual effort or achievement, rather than by inheriting it at birth or receiving it involuntarily. In this case, the young man has achieved the status of a marketing consultant through his efforts to obtain education and professional experience. Being Indian-American, a son, or male are ascribed statuses that he was born with and did not achieve through individual effort, so they cannot be considered examples of achieved status in this context.
