you certainly can't tell from the fact that he brought up his kids to fight demons rather than go to college that he wouldn't have wanted Dean and Sam to pursue higher education in a world without them.
And in fact, in "Dean Man's Blood," John tells Sam that before Mary died, both kids had had college funds into which John put money every month. (Afterwards, he ended up spending the money on ammunition.) So pre-fire John definitely had college aspirations for his kids, and enough income to be able to spare a couple hundred bucks every month.
The impression I get is that John started out working class, then worked his way up to middle-class, first by going into the Marines, then by owning his business.
