  You don't have to be low class to have a lower-status job. Lower-status jobs are just jobs that are lower paid and not as desirable to have. I grew up poor in the Deep South, my boss comes from a persecuted minority culture, and some of the folks with the lower-status jobs came from nice neighborhoods on the East Coast and went to private school, so at least in my line of work it doesn't intersect with "class."

    English is not my first language, not even the second, but I'm sure you're misusing "status" here. Those jobs could be low paid, but not "lower-status". By the way, you're implying that coming from the Deep South or "coming from"* (sic) a persecuted minority culture are two examples of low class, but I fail to see how is it related at all. I've got the feeling that you rank people based on the job they do. It is a shame because you're missing many interesting conversations.
