In case you missed it, earlier this month, Netflix launched Emily in Paris…and this present a few younger American who travels to France for work is one way or the other essentially the most divisive program on Netflix’s roster.

I personally adore it, however that is as a result of it’s very bonkers and I stay for that kinda shit. Or, ought to I say, I stay for that kinda ~merde~.
Properly, in a latest interview with Vogue, when requested concerning the age of the younger American ingenue, Lily Collins — who performs Emily — mentioned that she believed her character to be “fairly contemporary out of faculty. Perhaps that is her first 12 months after commencement. I need to say she’s like 22-ish.”
Like, I get wanting her to be younger, however THAT YOUNG?? NO WONDER NO ONE AT THE FRENCH AGENCY TOOK HER SERIOUSLY!
She’s had sufficient expertise at her firm in Chicago to have earned the respect of her boss. She’s a wise cookie and actually modern — and this isn’t her first rodeo doing what she does. She’s gone to high school for this, and he or she’s accomplished internships. Nevertheless, she’s not the one that travelled throughout faculty. She was actually, actually targeted on her jobs within the Midwest, and I don’t assume she’s been overseas.
You are probs like, “She simply has moxie!” To which I say, until she began faculty at 2, skipped a handful of grades, and by no means took a summer time off in faculty, I discover it a LIIIIITTTLEEE far-fetched* {that a} 22-year-old would have a grasp’s in advertising and marketing and that a lot accountability at a high-end advertising and marketing agency.

*And that is saying A LOT as a result of this present is…this present.
Like, please let me break this down for you. On the ripe age of 22, Emily has a grasp’s diploma in advertising and marketing.

As somebody with a B.S. in Movie and Tv, I do know that it takes at LEAST FIVE years to amass this diploma, often six years. And that is simply the DEGREE! Not the WORK EXPERIENCE.
Emily can be on monitor — in a single brief 12 months — to turn out to be a senior model supervisor.

For reference, in accordance with a job on BuzzFeed’s profession web site, a BRAND MANAGER wants 3–5 years of expertise. Not to mention a SENIOR model supervisor.
Within the interim, Emily is the lead on a number of luxurious accounts whereas working in Paris, which is a giant accountability for somebody who was on a eating plan the 12 months earlier than.

And, all of the whereas, she’s carrying LUXURY AND DESIGNER garments that actually price the equal of a month of hire.

Would not she have pupil loans? How can she afford Chanel??
Perhaps she’s a advertising and marketing prodigy? Who’s to say?! Hopefully we get a bit extra of her background in Season 2!
