There are 3 social levels above new affluent worker so you should probably wear designer sunglasses indoors Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This prickish thing reckons I'm elite. Pretty much just because my wife and I both work fulltime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve been staying in a Children’s hospital for the past 2 weeks and have been giving thought to Nursing as an occupation. In the ward we are in there are 80 nurses. Its 80-90% female. Almost all the staff are between 22 and 38. They seem a great tight knit group. Plenty of the female nurses are gorgeous, and the guys are good blokes. They get along well, and seem to interact socially and have a really enjoyable workplace.. I work in an office where the work force is male dominated, average tenure is 25 years, the average employee age is 40+, and of an office of 600 you;d be luckily to get 30 out for drinks on a Friday.... I see huge attraction in any profession where there is a more vibrant group of people to engage with, I work in aged care. The women are spiteful slobs with heaps to say but nothing to talk about. Bunch of Bogans, uni students who don't give a fuck and people who just need the job but hate it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vegan Kel Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 The whole 'class' obsession is divide and conquer shite. If you're not part of the so-called 'elite' bloodline class then you're a slave drone in some form or another Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're not part of the so-called 'elite' bloodline class then you're a slave drone in some form or another I'd say its more about whether you own property and derive profit from it or not. I'd agree that the old cultural stereotypes are outdated. I know electricians who are minted, own buy-to-lets and make fortunes out of it. I know graduates who speak four languages and barely make rent every month. For another example, it costs £5 to go see a classical music concert. It costs £40 to go watch a football match. Which is the lower-class activity? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those in that upper tier I'd expect still do care about it all and surely many would look down their noses at those peons from lower social groupings.
