Five people, after spending their early adult lives working as tradespersons, set about achieving a major identity change. These people are now or have recently been practising academics in Australian universities. This article encompasses their recollections of experiences during a major period of that change; undergraduate teacher education. This was a time when they were confronted by an alternative social class that both confronted their working class identities and offered them alternatives. The following discussion reviews their move from a working class culture to, what is essentially, a middle class work environment, considering the assistance they received and the hurdles they encountered on the way. In tracing this transition, some of the status and cultural differences that distinguish Australian social classes are highlighted
