How is this 'British' family defined by the class system?
One spouse university professional, the other in working class employment?
Own home (mortgage)
Child in state school.
Does the family move up to middle class, if only one part of the marriage has professional career?
Or
Stay as working class as the other one is a blue collar worker?
Is it the Male profession or job that will define the family class type?
Eg husband (university) professional career
Wife in blue collar employment = middle class
Wife (university) professional career ,
Husband blue collar worker
= working class
Do we look to the parents of the couple?
Do we wait and see which path the child chooses?
My own definition
If you need to work for a living , then 'you' are working class, no matter how much brass is in your pocket or how many degrees are pinned to the wall.
