1. I've dated a truck driver. He had a college degree, which is my minimum educational requirement (I typically date men with more than a bachelors, though). He used to be white collar and switched to blue collar. It was fine with me at first but then I realize that, no matter how much you make, I don't want to date a man who works long, odd hours. They are more than likely good men...for some other woman. I never felt the need to attach myself to every good man who comes around. There isn't a shortage of good men who fit MY wants and needs.
2. Finding a man with my same degree level doesn't matter to me. A PhD means a lot in my field but not in every field. Plus, a PhD doesn't translate to higher pay or a certain type of lifestyle for many academicians. So it is only middle class based on a loose categorization of middle class.
