I know a few and it's really annoys me for some reason no idea why it greats on me either being from a middle class back ground myself but unedcuated so have to do a working class job when I do get back into one. Think id discribe myself as mudle class. I say be proud of your class and hertige why hide it out of fear or embrasment no matter what class you are and those who denigh there even is a class system are usually the ones who hate people for there class.
I grew up in a working class family in a working class area but have good qualifications and a higher than average paid job. People would likely see me as middle class, but I don't feel that way and have faced a number of barriers. Some employers with a lot of competition for vacancies now ask questions about your social background to put your achievements into perspective, which I think is a positive thing. I think there is a difference between a 2.1 degree from someone with no family support (emotionally) or financial backing than someone who is encouraged and financially supported by a family that have been to uni themselves and value education.
I don't know what I am or what I really want to even be in this world.
As a working class man I would see you from your description as a upper working class. Middle class you would have a second home for the Summer and 6 vacations a year.
Yes, some people refer to upper working class and I can see that. Your leap to what middle class looks like to you is quite a leap though!!! Second home as a middle class person?!
