What social class are you?

Posted from TSR Mobile

Actually I read the guardian and telegraph, and seems you are well versed on the contents of the daily mail then?

*waits for the STEMLORDS to arrive*

You are so ignorant it's not even funny, so I come back 5 hours later and you're still refusing to acknowledge your own white privilege but not only that but you're now judging people who you don't even know.

Listen kid, you have a lot of growing up to do. I would start by getting a new haircut because that hair style has you looking like the Count of Monte Cristo.

I agree, encouraging all types of people to go to uni only deludes the less intelligent by pushing them to do something they're not. They should take vocational courses instead.

You could have put it a bit better. For example, I'm going for a career in Marketing and business development, it requires intellect, but practical experience massively out trumps a degree, which is why as an 18 year old I can look towards a grad salary.

I think that there is an issue by even separating the intelligent from the less intelligent, people's differences extend further than just levels of intellect, and I think we need an education system that focusses on everyone's strengths rather than funneling the smart people into uni and leaving the rest to figure it out for themselves.

I've clicked the wrong option xD

I'd go with working class, as my family doesn't own our own home, though we'd actually probably be lower middle class as there's property in the outer family and we're as comfortable as you can be in a council home I suppose

You're not who I meant. The kid from down the road who has Cs at GCSE and Cs with maybe a B at A level in photography, textiles, and whatever else who then goes to study some pointless degree is the problem. These people are being conned out of £9k to end up in a job after graduating that requires no degree. These people are not academic, these people should not being at uni.

The rest don't really matter though. The smart ones go to uni to invent new products, work in jobs that need skills, and do everything that matters, the rest can become secretaries, plumbers and workers in factories.

Working. I've never noticed how TSR was dominated by mainly well-off folk, but I guess that's to be expected.

Keep in mind being working class is nothing to be ashamed off. I am proud to be working class, so what my family doesn't have a huge salary or thousands in disposable income? What matters is how you carry yourself, not the salary you're making.

How did you manage to press the wrong one xD

What absolutely no. Don't most marketing jobs need degrees? The vocational part can be included into the degree like in medical courses such as medicine, dentistry and nursing where clinical experience which is essential for the job is added in as mandatory work experience and is covered by actual teaching hours and outside of them.

I think having a degree in and of itself is a good thing and is something we should all make everyone aspire to even those that 'lack intellect' as you put it. Getting higher qualifications is not just about getting a job but it's character building.

Idek xD I mean, I guess I'm somewhere in the middle of Working and Middle class, so either works I suppose

It's a really simplistic way of looking at it. The ones who sell and market the products don't need to go to uni. The ones who build the products don't need to go to uni. The ones who invent the products don't all necessarily have to have gone to uni. If you want to be a doctor, then fine go to uni. If you want to be a scientist, then fine, go to uni. If you want to work in creative industry, then you don't have to go to uni.

If you don't know what you want to do (like most young people) then don't decide to go to uni until you actually know what it is that you want to get from it.

You don't need to go to uni to do a job that needs skills.

You don't need to go to uni just because you can pass a few exams.
