I would say that the majority of my working life was spent in minimum wage jobs, including cleaning the middle class folks first and second homes. I walked their dogs and scooped their kitty litter when they were on vacation. My body said no more so I went to university when I was in my 30's. So now I work mid wage admin job to pay off over $25,000 in school loan debt.

So yeah I still feel like lower socio-economic class as we with education would say in the US. Without education I was just po' white trash!

I was never in this argument for the sake of defining terms and proper owners of folk music (a term I am beginning to loathe for it's devisiveness). I just take exception at certain dismissals of the geniune suffering of huge swathes of people and the music that was turned out of that suffering.

I'm done.
