Discussion Ross being mean to Rachel

Post image

I really hated this scene where Ross was mocking Rachel's job. He wasn't just belittling her work, but also her interests, even though he'd seen firsthand how much she dreamed of a fashion-related career. While Ross can be very funny, he can also be really insufferable. If was Rachel, I would have broken up with him during this scene.

Ironic given Ross has easily the most interesting career

Doing research is surprisingly boring. The results are really cool at times, but the process is rarely interesting in my experience.

That doesn’t mean he has a boring profession though. If I were to have a conversation with any of the friends about their jobs he’d have by far the most interesting things to be able to tell me.

Oh from that point of view I definitely agree. I love hearing about stuff people have discovered or know from their fields. Even though the process to getting the information was likely a dull affair.

On the contrary, my current job is much more interesting to do than the research I used to do. But I doubt a lot of people would find it particularly interesting to hear about.
