Back when I actually had friends, it was maybe half and half, from working-class and middle-class backgrounds.

When I was a kid, it was mostly middle-class friends, although I had a few working-class friends (but they were upwardly mobile, or would be, one day).

Working class. They all have jobs. Therefore, they work.

I don't see how anybody could be middle class without also being working class, because usually you have to work to be middle class.

My point is...what the hell do you mean by "working class"? Do you mean lower class? When you call one group "working class" it implies that it's the only class that works, which is very misleading. Also, when the other classes are called middle and upper, it only makes sense to call this one lower for consistency purposes. Besides, there's no point in trying to make the class sound better than it really is. Calling it lower class is just one more incentive people have to pull themselves out of it.

Most of my friends are from the enlisted side of the military or are from an LE background or a combo of both. So...working/middle class I guess?

Mostly working-class, but some middle-class.


This. Of the people who I considered to be friends by my senior year of high school, only 1 out of 5 went on to college. Most didn't even make it to HS graduation (they later got GEDs in most cases).
