lighthearted, are you middle class?

[mrziggycoco]

How do you define classes, personally, and are what class are you?

I read a book once that said if you are a professional (in one of the professions; teaching/doctor/engineer/surgeon/lawyer) you are middle class.

Similarly if you are a blue collar worker (you have a uniform for work) this makes you working class.

I wonder if being socially housed makes one automatically working class?

Thoughts? Just for fun.

It's a load of shit anyway. Doesn't matter what class you are at the minute.

The only difference is what we will be burning to keep warm with these energy prices come winter. Either pallets and mdf furniture or solid oak furniture and paintings 🤣

'The elite'?? My DH has upper class family and one friend they are certainly not 'elite', they have a low key budget life and one of them is lovely but in all honesty not very 'knowledgeable'.

I might have it wrong- but I'm fairly certain that both surgeons and GPs are both just types of doctors. A surgeon (orthopaedic, brain, other???) or pediatrician, neurologist, cardiologist etc are all doctors who've done a few more years specialising in a particular area.

High street solicitors and QCs have very different levels of prestige, but both are lawyers.

A surgeon specialises in surgery. A specialist physician specialises in non-surgical medicine. Both have a great depth of knowledge but not so much breadth. A GP (or general hospital physician) deliberately chooses not to specialise and to prioritise breadth over depth. Otherwise how would the patient know which specialist to attend? if they could not diagnose their issue? GPs are also expert at managing several conditions at once in the same patient which a specialist would struggle with. All of them are doctors. A good doctor in any particular field is better than a bad one in any other field.
