Snobs 'n jobs 'n all that crap
I'm better than you
One of the things that hacks me off, is people pretending to be better than they are - snobs.
Living in Spain, a certain element of ex-pats seem to take great pleasure in playing a game of guess, not all of them by all means, but some certainly do. Some people pretend to come from exotic backgrounds and be something better than they really are. A lot of them make out they're pilots, or company owners, or business execs..... Very few of them admit they were plain-old shit-kickers.....
Working class or what?
Why can't they admit they're working class? Is there something wrong with earning money? If you earn money, you're working class. Don't smudge the issue by splitting your life into lower, middle, or upper working class. You either earn money, or you have fantastically rich parents and won't be reading this piece of garbage.
I'm working class and proud of what I've achieved. I earned my spurs. I started with nothing, my parents had nothing, my father's job was boiler attendant.
I was lucky enough, once adult, to take a degree, I placed a tentative foot on a ladder, but it didn't elevate me to a different sphere. I earned my degree. It was bloody hard work. It wasn't a God-given part of life. It took effort.
Before I moved to Spain, I was part of a development team, I had a large budget. It wasn't MY money though, I had to spend it extremely wisely or someone, some faceless person with more power than most of us can dream of, would have chewed me up and spat me into the gutter.
It didn't make me better having a say of how the money was spent, it didn't mean I was in some higher class of society. I was a person with a job, and I did what I had to do, otherwise I'd have ended on the scrapheap.
No matter what our job, no matter what our position, we are tiny in the greater scheme of things. We all shat our nappies, we'll all die.
For heaven's sake, get a grip on reality! Stop trying to be something you aren't.
