A lot of jobs can lead to being middle class if you a) sticjpk with them/get good and b) manage your personal finances well.
Some janitor left millions to charity. He was frugal and was good at investing in stocks.
I have read that the 5% of people who have financial goals outperform the 95% without them -- combined.
I have also read that people who folow their interests typically have more career success. People who like what they are doing tend to do it well, for a variety of reasons.
I suggest you figure out what you enjoy doing and try to find a job that is a good fit for that to the best of your ability. Also, learn to budget, stay healthy, use birth control consistently. Health issues and unplanned children seriously derail personal budgets.
