Do you live in a bubble?
Are you insulated from the working class's mainstream culture in thought and history? Let's see who we have here.
I got a 45, which seems about right in the summary. I figured my score would be higher given where I grew up. If I changed one answer about my father's job, it would rise to 52 (he was a manager, but in very blue collar jobs). However, I answered the questions strictly. http://www.pbs.org/newshour/making-s...bble-a-quiz-2/ |

53, but it's too vague and it barely applies to me at all.
For example, it's identifying me as growing up "blue collar-middle class". And while that's somewhat true, i'm not sure that you'd count growing up homeless as "blue collar-middle class". So while yes, my father (breadwinner ) worked a blue collar job, i still lived on a river bed around countless other homeless people. That's not growing up "Blue collar-Middle class".

I quit after the first question. I have no idea how many of my neighbors have a college degree. I live in the South so I would assume most of them don't, but I can't be certain.

49. Might have been higher if I'd seen any of those movies or TV shows.

There was a lot of the quiz that falls into a lot of grey area for me. I've technically been fishing in the past 5 years, but it was just keeping my dad company on a boat for a couple hours (and I didn't catch anything). I haven't worn a uniform "since leaving school," but I worked retail for 6 years during college, but apparently that doesn't count?
Meh - whatever. 45 sounds about right regardless. I grew up in a small town in southern Kansas, but I haven't lived in a small town for a decade and don't plan on ever going back. |
