Traditional Mobility of status between two generations model focuses on the accommodation effect that the education of the offspring has, as a middle variable, during the status inheritance between the parents and their children. This article discusses the mechanism of the cultural capital transmission, under the condition that the education of the offspring is strictly controlled Moltinorminal statistical analysis mechanism is employed to analyze the samples of the students' first occupations, who graduated from one tie 1 university. The result indicates that the higher the level of the parents' education and the financial status are, the higher the status of the offspring's first occupations is; the educational background of the parents influences the offspring's first occupations through influencing the offspring's study performance in the college (GPA).
