Yeah I lived with a middle class British girl that had to do farm work for 6 months in country Australia for her visa and it changed her outlook on manual labour and the working class.

Like she did bartending and barista work before so not unfamiliar with the working class and their struggles but 6 months of having to get up before dawn to work in a field to enrich her millionaire employers caused her to develop class consciousness and solidarity in real time.

Going from "Be nice to your bartender even if they make a mistake :)' to breaking up with her boyfriend of 1.5 years because he was like "the working poor should just start their own business if they don't want to be poor" (he had a drop shipping """business""" that started with a loan from his grandparents and also it barely made any money)
