There are no common stereotypes about the McCain or Boyd family, other than a history of divorce. If anything, the Boyd family would be expected to only complete high school, and occasionally college. They are likely to stay close to either Boydton or Clarksville. Very few of my fathers relatives have moved from that area or have stayed at least within 1 hour driving distance. Many of them have common jobs either involving labor or working in the town. My father is one of few people to truly leave his hometown and make something of himself. Most of my family lives a very simple life and is content with life in a small town.
Stereotypically, my mothers family has been known to pursue a degree and then leave to pursue a business venture. My mothers family is made up of business owners, real estate investors, home builders, hotel executives, lawyers, nurses, teachers, and business executives. Although a few of my relatives still live in Lexington, most have left to pursue their careers in larger cities like Washington D.C., Chicago, Atlanta, and Tampa. McCain's are expected to work hard and live a flashier lifestyle. My uncles are typically competing to see who can make more money, befriend the most important people, and make a name for themselves.
