Are there any known ways to systematically reprogram typical class attitudes (from lower to upper middle class for example)?
Not superficial stuff like dress or speech or table manners. Stuff like financial habits, education plans, work ethics etc.

Of course there’s a work ethic difference. Whether it’s a good or bad one for either side is up to you to decide.

Well, I dunno...I think it'd be pretty challenging to "reprogram upper" and upper-middle class people to consistently put in a hard day's work.

Now your biases are showing through. Most “working rich” upper middle and upper class people work horrendously hard, like 100-120 hour weeks, barely any sleep
They enjoy it more than poor people who are forced to the same effort, but they aren’t lazy unless it’s inherited wealth

Maybe you can clarify your assertion that there are class-based differences in work ethic. Is it the rich or poor who don't work as hard?
Also, [citation needed] re: your assertion that most "working rich" (whatever that means) work 100+ hr weeks. I'm...skeptical.

Why do you think it’s a difference in how hard they work?
It’s attitude, style, anxiety levels, career expectations, competition/cooperation balance, backstabbing vs. mutual aid etc.
A function of the kinds of roles the classes usually have

The median # of hours worked per week among the top income quintile is less than 46. It's higher than in the bottom quintile, but much lower than 100-120. theatlas.com/charts/Vy_crZ3
