Well doesn't working make you working class? But then I work (ft) and would probably be considered by a lot on here as lower/'chav' class because I'm a single mum in social housing doing a job I didn't need a degree to get, experience, common sense and a strong personality are what's needed for my role. It's a little above NMW, but still not enough to live on and get the essentials paid without a bit from tax credits.

I do have a fairly decent education though, I have a levels and have some credits at university level from short courses and have done online courses to improve my education and prospects. So maybe that doesn't make me lower class?

Possibly it's more about how you are as a person, what your behaviour is like generally rather than education and income level?
