[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does class = income level? Is a drug dealer or plumber making $300k middle class? Just wondered. [/quote]

I say source of income doesn’t matter IMO. [/quote]

So a plumber making 250k is middle class while professor making 100k is lower middle? [/quote]
[b]You were part of a higher class than them. They “just” had money[/b]

I used to be a professor, and once went out on a very large boat (not quite a yacht, but close) owned by some friends.  They met up with a couple of other boaters in even bigger, more impressive boats.  One was a carpenter and house painter, and the other was a plumber.  They owned their own businesses, of course. But still, I felt out-classed (and out-smarted) in spite of my illustrious degrees.  I was too busy paying back my ridiculous student loans to even buy a new car.  [/quote][/quote]

First, before judging people's class, learn how to post correctly so your responses don't get lost as part of someone else's post.

Second, this is pure cope.  A successful business owner, even in a blue-collar industry, is in a higher class than a heavily-indebted professor struggling to get by.  You probably mean that the professor listens to NPR and once visited some ancient Roman aqueducts on vacation, but I'm sorry to inform you that having a lot of money is a more important determinant of one's class.[/quote]
