  1. just a worker like everyone else

    no social class


  2. We don't do "social class" here in Canada.

  3. If you have a job - you are one of the working class. In this context - CEO who works - working class; bus boy in a restaurant - working class.

    If you don't work chances are that you are either retired or unemployed.

    But the word is very pliable. For example:

    Financially, (though generally your financial status is no one's business really), if you are rich you are upper class, if you make enough to be comfortable you are middle class everything below that is lower class. Having said that, you can be dirt poor and be upper class intellectually and, by the same token, you can be filthy rich and be intellectually lower class.

    If, you are asking about caste - there is no caste system in Canada. You can inherit large amounts of money and remain in the upper class financially or you can squander it, do drugs or any number of things and end up living in a shelter with the poorest of the poor. You can be the poorest of the poor, win a lottery and move into the upper part of Upper Westmount.

    Whether you can stay there will depend a lot on whether you have any social class - social skills - and financial knowhow or advice. I could go on and on. Suffice it to say that the word 'class' in Canada has a much more flexible meaning than it does in a place that recognizes the caste system. And, depending on how you use the brain you come with, the education you get or give yourself, your willingness to work and even sometimes just plain luck, you can be in any class you want.
