I thought the job titles were weird and quite old-fashioned. Do secretaries even exist any more? I wish they'd had more job titles that I actually know, like Production Coordinator, or Grip, or DP. Or Engineer, or stay at home mum. I found it hard to choose.

Anyway, I'm allegedly established middle class. That test was bollox.:thumbdown:

Don't forget 'event coordinator', Executive Assistant (aka secretary), primary caregiver (stay at home mum), hostess (bar maid), dancer (stripper)

All elites if you ask the 17 - 30 demographic

I'm an Emergent Service Worker - "young, enjoy a cultured social life and rent their home". Sounds about right tbh.

That's my cue to say so are plenty of others, they just use different expressions.

Preppy, Ivy Leaguers, wrong side of the tracks, blue collar, white collar etc

A more realistic class system these days would be:

Underclass (the poor, the dishonest, the illegals)
Middleclass (everyone working or who had worked i.e. WC+MC)
Statusclass (multi-millionaires and/or those with very high influence or power)

True... people do like to be pigeonholed, for some strange reason.

Technical middle class which is of course pure bunkum as I am most definately established middle class.

Technical Middle class if I convert CAD to UK£ at current exchange

Elite if I just put in CAD


and when I'm dead honest and admit I don't bother socialising at all and those people I do chose to reluctantly speak to are really my wife friends, and they didn't list any of the thing i like to do and so I put nothing in social and nothing in cultural I still got Technical middle class

English class is all about the money................
