So, so sick of being lower middle class

I am writing to vent because I am so, so sick of being from a lower middle class background in this society and feel I have no options for betterment. I did a languages degree with translation and there are literally no well paid jobs in this field. I grew up in a semi, my father was a civil servant and my mum was a part time teacher. We were average in every way, not poor but a long, long way from being rich. Second hand family cars, holidays were nearly always in the UK, getting a designer pair of trainers was a big expense for us. I have a slight regional accent and when it comes to it, I really lack confidence like most people I went to school with. I never thought about these things until uni, but I met so many people who had been on holiday all over the world, been skiing, live in posh parts of London or the south, went to private school, speak in posh accents and are so confident. I was at the gym at my uni earlier this week and this girl was there and I had to ask her something, basically she put her bag on top of my jacket by mistake and I had to ask her to move it. She was very attractive, no doubt from London or somewhere and had a really posh accent, and I literally felt like a chimney sweep speaking to her. Can anybody else sympathize, I mean how do you even start to move upwards in this country? It isn't just people it is house prices and everything.

Rather than crying about it, you can do something to change your situation.
Here are some suggestions:

Good luck

"Actively seek to marry a rich girl."
Wtf is this advice lmao.

It is as it is written.
Some people seek to marry rich people. If you dont know that, that’s alright.

Oh absolutely! Why work hard when you gamble your future on in-laws and divorce lawyers.
