[John-B29414]

Class in the United States and Canada is partly determined by income, education and how you grew up; that’s why this case is confusing. A rough rule of thumb is that you belong to the class you realistically expect to end up in. Given that you’re pursuing a profession, and came from a professional home, and have advanced education in an occupation, I’d say you’re middle-class with a temporary low income. The use of ‘Class’ as a word to mean ‘style, grace, savoir faire’, confuses the issue in an unfortunate way. In that sense, ‘class’, like ‘breeding’, is used to suggest that the well-off and powerful are the standard of behavior by which the rest of us should be judged.
