Given the opinions I've seen regarding job searching, and generally making a way for yourself; I thought it interestiing to see this demographic on AFF.

Need help knowing where you are? This chart is a decent summary.

Disclaimer: social class can be defined many different ways, not solely based on one factor alone. This is just a widely accepted classification among Sociologists.

I am and always have been of the working class

The link to the chart isn't really working for my browser cause I'm nothing but a blank white page

Just a quick suggestion. You can take it or leave it. Some people might not want it to show how they voted on this poll.

I don't have a problem with people knowing I'm lower class or (from the movie Titanic) 3rd class...

there are only 3 classes  in america right at the moment

wealthy

working class (anyone who still has work)

lower class  (welfare, retired, disabled, unemployed/underemployed)

From that chart, lower middle class, but always moving a little bit higher, ask me again in a few months and it'll be the next one up.

To clarify: My salary is middle-class, but my position (CTO) would be right at the top of the chart and my actual assets are far far higher.

Should the poll be public? Or private?

If you desire, I might be able to make it private. If not, ill ask a mod to edit it.

I grew up very average most of my life.

Actually the American chart should read

Puttin on the Ritz!-Class
Hard working American cause someone has to drive our economy foreword -Class
I have a second mortgage on my house cause of my successful career -Class
Living off of SSI and welfare checks/other -Class

I am proud to be working class

I have made my way, without having to seek much help.

Knock on wood

Done.

Lol...good humour Phillip !

My new job at the university would make me, personally (not counting the parents) lower middle class.
