Do TV Jobs Seem Real? We Asked a Doctor, Chef, Priest and Therapist

My favorite part in 13 Going on 30 is when the character is picked up for her magazine job in a stretch limo. Working at a magazine seems glamorous, no crowded subways or biking through midtown! Curious about the realism of TV jobs, we asked four professionals for their thoughts. Lina Perl, a clinical therapist in NYC, shared her insights on Netflix’s Never Have I Ever. As for Leah Wise, an Episcopal priest from Houston, Fleabag’s portrayal of a hot priest struck a chord. Hannah Cheng, owner of Mimi Cheng’s Dumplings in NYC, found The Bear to be stressfully realistic. And Lucy Kalanithi, a physician from the San Francisco Bay Area, praised Scrubs for its accurate depiction of medical hierarchy. Have your job been portrayed on TV?
