I come from a middle class family (i.e. my father supported my mother fully when they were married). Where do students come in all of this?
If you depend on somebody else for your livelihood then you are working class.
The so-called " middle class " are wannabe toffs and in denial of their actual standing in capitalist society.
Am I working class just because I don't have an income? Or is it based on more than that?
Oh, and I'm not a "wannabe toff", I'm a person who wants to earn a decent wage like everyone ought to. Yes, I want to be rich, I don't think that's too much to ask given the skills I'll leave university with. I've invested a lot in my future...it doesn't make me a wannabe toff.
