So then jobs that pay well but don't put you in a position of ownership are fine? Just clarifying. I assume jobs like professor or doctor where you can earn upwards of 200k a year if it's specific enough are not considered capitalist. What if you serve institutions like private hospitals and universities? I am genuinely curious about this as my entire family is university professors in various fields that are all successful and I never thought about their relationship with exploitation.
They are working class because they don't own the hospital or university. The amount the capitalists value their workers doesn't really change anything.
Labour aristocracy is still Labour. There was a time when you had to be bourgeois or Aristo to be a professor, that time is long past and tenure has been long commoditized.
Most doctors aren't workers because they own their practice. This is becoming less and less true, but even doctors who work for large hospitals as wage workers still earn enough to join the bourgeoisie ownership class within 10-15 years of finishing med school

Thank you for the response. This makes sense
