For the record, social class is determined in this fashion, based on employment;

Lower working class; unskilled manual labour
Working class; semi-skilled manual labour
Upper working class; skilled manual labour
Lower middle class; unskilled non-manual labour
Middle class; semi-skilled non-manual labour
Upper middle class; skilled non-manual labour
Upper class; aristocracy.

Class is determined by the head of the household, who is always the oldest working male in the household, unless there are no working males, in which case the oldest working female determines the class of the household. Wives, children and senescent relatives have their social class determined by the head of the household. Members of the household who leave and become independent retain their social class until they become employed for the first time, at which time their social class becomes based on their mode of employ; if they retain home, their social class snaps back.

Although it post-dates this system of identification of social stratification, the 'underclass' is a term used to identify those 'employed' in crime. It has also been used to refer to households in which no member has ever worked (those that subsist on government handouts) however this use of the term is incompatible with the system because the eldest male in the household determines the class for the whole household (until anyone in the household gets a job) and he inherits his class from his ancestors.

This is all from memory though from my Sociology GCSE, in which I got a C. I couldn't find which sociologist invented this system.

Good post. Most people seem to think that 'middle class' is the default.

Having missed that I took a look.
Apparently I'm upper-middle, just because I still live with my parents.  I might qualify on my own, but I am not entirely sure.
Still, my response was mostly a joke (I'm still a crafterdwarf).

Any two of these things would be enough for me to google stalk all of you down to your exact name, address, credit card providers and possibly your social security number as well.

Um, no. You really have no idea how many white 20-something students there are in the world, do you?

Also, best of luck tracking my social security number down.
