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."
- mobiplayer 12y agoEnglish 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.
