Shouldn't it be called Stuff Posh People Like?

Pretty much.

Something dawned on me today, when I get my degree and my job I am going to be middle class professional, how very sad. :(

how are you going to be middle class ?
Bullshitters misrepresent themselves to their audience not as liars do, that is, by deliberately making false claims about what is true. In fact, bullshit need not be untrue at all.

Rather, bullshitters seek to convey a certain impression of themselves without being concerned about whether anything at all is true. They quietly change the rules governing their end of the conversation so that claims about truth and falsity are irrelevant.

"middle class" used loosely of course, some pre-requisites of the publics view of middle class include:

- Achievement of tertiary education.
- Holding professional qualifications, including academics, lawyers, engineers, doctors, and clergymen regardless of their leisure or wealth.

Of course, being a Marxist, I don't see myself as middle class, as I am not comfortable with such distinctions. I am from a very poor working class background (under the poverty line anyway) and I will always see myself as working class. Its strange really, we had a lecture today where the lecturer was talking about the profession and our social status, the wages and the distinction of the "class system", he was talking about the "haves" and "have not's", the placement of wealth globally, the growing discrepancies on each side, and pretty soon (provided there will be jobs), I'll be making the jump from one to the other so to speak. I just find it strange that is all.

I understand why you'd think it was sarcasm, but no, I was saying that quite genuinely. :)
