Slightly OT, but that's not the type of job you get just from being recommended by a friend, or without a bachelor's degree. I know that people want Penny to have a better job, and I understand why, but that part is pretty unrealistic. It's almost like "Penny becomes a nurse because B. put in a good word for her." One gal I knew with that job had a bachelor's in chemistry.
On re-reading, I'm sorry if that sounded insensitive, I'm just saying...
If we were dealing with reality, Leonard, Raj and Howard would have lost their jobs after season 2 for academic malfeasance, Bernie would be dead because she plays fast and loose with deadly pathogens and Amy would never have survived high school. And Sheldon would likely be in jail for hacking government computers. TBBT isn't reality. But it's not even good fantasy. It's a group of not very likable snooty people who make fun of each other and everyone else while their own lives are pretty ordinary.
