Penny Blossom

[Tuesday Pajamas]

Yes. I'm willing to suspend a lot of disbelief for a sitcom, but this is wildly unrealistic. One gal I knew with that job had a bachelor's in chemistry.

It might've been a step up from the CCF if she became, say, a receptionist at a salon, or maybe a salesperson at an upscale department store. At least she wouldn't have to handle food. And even then, there would be applicants with more varied retail experience. The job market is tough.

Or maybe she could go into business for herself, like with the Penny blossoms, start selling things on Etsy, something like that. Sometimes a huge success story can start with something very simple.

Jobs/money are one area where TPTB seem very out of touch: the idea that the guys make relatively little $$$, the fact that Penny can afford that apartment in the first place, etc.

Personally, I think L&S live this college-guy sort of lifestyle because they enjoy it, not because they have to. Aside from paying off student loans, which can be considerable, they prob. both have plenty of savings and investments.

You've all heard my tirade about the idea that H makes no money and lives off B, so I won't go there again....

Is this new twist really better than letting Penny succeed at acting? I dunno. Seems kind of sudden and random.

I agree, I wanted Penny to go on a hairdressing course or at least something that she came to herself. When I was researching Rep jobs to do a fanfiction, I noticed they needed a degree to be considered. It's not really her. I know there's a lot of talk elsewhere about the new haircut 'changing' her but the job is not very PENNY either.
