Social worker. Lol, no. But I'm not in child welfare so maybe that's why.

Yes— oh my god! I used to be a journalist, and watching The Paper always makes me sad—I miss that life! It’s pretty accurate depiction of the personalities and newsroom drama. Love the budget meeting where front page placement is determined by whether there’s a NY connection!

Up in the Air got the traveling consultant thing kind of right, especially the scene when George Clooney is schooling the new recruit on getting through the airport with the essentials only, picking the best security line, etc. Also the scene of George and Vera Farmiga pulling out their credit and rewards cards and discussing points in a hotel bar.

I work for the CIA, so ... yeah ... not really.

20 year support employee FBI. All of the shows have gotten it laughably wrong over the years. Also, the inside of headquarters is no where near as modernized as it's portrayed on shows. The Starbucks is nice and the gym is nice, but those are recent additions/upgrades.

But do you have a nanny with a magic umbrella?

Nope. I’m a single woman just trying to pay off my student loans and eat some avocado toast as I go.

Teacher in MCPS. So no.

I am a special ed teacher. I like to imagine that I am a combo of Annie Sullivan and Kotter.

I used to work at the White House. I would give most shows about 50% accuracy. The sets are the worst of all though. Anyone who has been in the West Wing knows how small it is.

I am a trauma nurse and we all couldn't believe how accurate nurse Jackie could be. And there was a lot of pill abuse amount nurses at my hospital around that time too.

Programmer....yes...if the movie is Office Space

I’m a social worker. Sometimes.
