Rachel Green – Friends

Firstly, let’s talk about that apartment that was bigger than our local community center.

Rachel eventually develops her career in the fashion world, but at the beginning she’s working at Central Perk making minimum wage, so how she managed to pay for her share of the rent and utilities is beyond us – did Monica foot the bill for the first few months? Your guess is as good as ours.
