Yeah, but a fair few of her expenses are cut through "borrowing" from Sheldon.
And even then she still has trouble because there was an entire episode dedicated to sorting out her financial issues.
(-.-) how many times must we go over this.
1.Her apartment is much smaller than theirs.
2.The apartment building obviously is not an expensive one seeing how long the elevator has been out.
3.She might be receiving help from family.
4.They might be living in a cheaper apartment building because it is closer to work.
5.Just because you are a scientist doesn't mean you are rich. They work at a college not a company. They recive grants to fund their projects and none of them have 10 year.
6.She works at a restaurant in a major city not some mcdonalds. So chances are she gets decent tips. And she probably only reports the ones on the recites. Not the ones left on the table.
7.She is seen often eating thier food and using thier internet. Who knows what else she "borrows" to make ends meet.
.
There is so many ways she is able to afford living there.
Lol yes and it is a tv show about fictional people who life fictional lives. It doesn't have to make since to be watch able. If we only watch stuff that dis that we be watching shit I was going to say the weather channal but even that has problems lol
Researchers do not make a lot of money! P.I's (primary investigators) are the "supervisors" of researchers and they get decently paid. The regular researchers do not get a lot of money.
In the Netherlands for example, a researcher in his first year (Ph.D yr 1) will get slightly more than minimum wage. That's a fact.
In Norway a postdoc (that means someone who has finished his Ph.D) will get the equivalent of 500 $ more than minimum wage. It's not much.
The P.I's however, they can quite a bit of money. They are the ones going out there getting grants and spending it to fund their research ideas. The researchers then follow the lead of their P.I with varying degrees of personal input.
Research is something you pursue out of passion, not in order to get money.
