Pennys allowed regrets, does not make her immature. Doesn't matter if your 1 or 100. Dreams are dreams. I can dream about being involved in making a star wars movie without expecting it to ever happen. Some dreams are only dreams. On the other hand back in the 70s I dreamed about having a computer some day. Funny now my kids can't imagine not having one. Daisy Ridley got a dream job that a lot of others tried for. How many people dream about winning the powerball lottery? Not so many people actually get to be Harison Ford, Bill Gates, J.K Rowling, Goerge Lucus or Robert Noyce although many might dream about it. Most people will likely never get everything they dream about but perhaps they will get some dreams come true. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

People are saying she should quit her job and chase her "dream" I think we covered this before but I know I feel that she should stick to her main job and chase the dream on the side until something comes of it and then she can focus all of her efforts on the dream. But we also have to remember she is married now. Leonard should in reality make enough money so that she could maybe scale back on her main job to chase the dream.

Continue to bottle it all up (as she has been) until the pills the shrink gave her stop working and she has a nervous breakdown! ... No wait actually maybe she should just do what she wants to do! We have had Raj's Mother, Father, Sister and Cousin. His mother was on the phone and we saw her in an actual scene but his cousin was just on Skype. I'm not remembering Raj's cousin or a scene with Raj's mother that was not skype. I'm recalling I forgot about Howard's cousin.

Sorry I'm not a feminist in the respect that it's your money and my money - when married it's our money. That's how I role at least... Yes but according to TPTB Leonard is up to his eyeballs in student dept and can't even afford to live alone 3 minutes ago, 3ku11 said: That's not my point. Im not suggesting she go chase her dreams.

Sorry I'm not a feminist in the respect that it's your money and my money - when married it's our money. That's how I role at least... What has keeping money you earn separate from money your partner earns got to do with feminism? Myself and my husband are both feminist and from the absolute go-get it was 'our' money, regardless of who earned it. Feminism means that you view men and women as equals. Lose this idea that it means women think they are better than men. Why on earth would I want to be equal to someone whom I think I am superior to? How does that make any sense whatsoever? As for Penny, presumably she still is on her agent's books. If a movie or TV role comes up that's she's perfect for then her job is likely to be flexible enough that she can audition. And if she gets cast, she should take it, and I'm pretty sure, being such a good sales rep, the pharmaceutical company will be more than happy to have her back, if that's what she chooses.

ATOB Posted January 31, 2016 Posted January 31, 2016 Are you confusing feminism with misandry? Or with those 1970's 2nd wave biological determinists that turned Feminism into the new F word?

Modern femanism at least in the US is misandry no differences apparent, the words are interchangeable. Except that modern femanist will tell you that misandry is ll and just a made up word by the patriarchy to justify their actions Edited January 31, 2016 by JE7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JE7 Posted January 31, 2016 Posted January 31, 2016 (edited) They simply make them as rich or poor as needed for that episode. The fact that Leonard's comics and collectables are quite expensive he buys Penny food and a car pays her bills without an apparent problem is immaterial because they want him to feel insecure because Penny makes more than him. Same goes for Howard. Hell Sheldon has wads of hundred dollar bills in a can and green lanterns ass. TBBT writers and sitcom writers in generals dictionary is missing the word continuity, Although TBBT is particularly in different to what they have allready established, even a few episodes before Edited February 1, 2016 by JE7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBBT writers and sitcom writers in generals dictionary is missing the word continuity, Although TBBT is particularly in different to what they have allready established, even a few episodes before There are multiple student loan payment plans that Leonard could be taking advantage of that would only tap into a small portion of his income over a very long period of time. There is also the possibility of partial student loan forgiveness for the type of work you engage in. (I worked in university financial aid for over 20 years). So his student loan debt might not be the graoning financial burden that would keep him from being able to afford things for himself and Penny. Sheldon has never mentioned if he has any student loan debt. In The Financial Permeability he tells Penny that he only needs 46.9% of his income for expenses, hence the extra cash on hand.

3ku11 Posted February 1, 2016 Posted February 1, 2016 (edited) Currently watching on dvd s2 premiere. One where Penny makes Sheldon lie to Leonard lol. Im Bat man! Of course Leonard screws up by implying Penny needs a degree or some kinda qualification to date Leonard Hofstadter. Oh early Lenny Oh this show was just funny. No relationship crap. Just simple funny. Oh and ive missed young fresh , sexy penny. They sure knew how to dress her bk then, not the hobbo now. Ill say though I hv not missed Penny keeping LeonArd at arms length. Watching 2x02 now. Penny goes out with another gym type without informing Leonard. She wasent very nice bk then. But What i prefer about the show now is the couples settled. Oh and vintage Sheldon pre Amy LOL. Edited February 1, 2016 by 3ku11 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nibbler747 Posted February 1, 2016 Posted February 1, 2016 If Sheldon was the star child prodigy, then I'm sure he had full scholarships all through university, thus the lack of student loan debt.

That aside professional researchers make okay money but nothing phenomenal. From The San Diego Reader (2014): http://www.sandiegoreader.com/news/2014/may/22/jobs-big-bang-bucks/# According to Glassdoor and Indeed, the average staff scientist salaries at Caltech is $74,920. Research scientists at Caltech pull in an average of $89,981. Salaries for research scientists in Pasadena are in the $50,000 to $115,000 range. Cooper is described in the series as ‘Senior Theoretical Physicist’ at Caltech this position pulls in about $100,000 a year or more. Astrophysicist Rajesh Koothrappali gazes at stars for a living which is more lucrative than it sounds. In 2010, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics put the median annual salary of astronomers at $87,260. For those working at universities, the median annual salary for astronomers working in research and development was $92,040 and $64,070. Koothrappali’s BFF is aerospace engineer Howard Wolowitz, (Aerospace engineers design aircraft, spacecraft, satellites, and missiles. Also, some, like Wolowitz, go into space.) The average salary for this specialty is about $103,000, but there is probably a big bonus for putting on a flight suit and floating through space for weeks on end in the name of research.
