You are also really talking simply about experience from first jobs. Part of the natural order more than a college substitute. And yes, lots of people are in college who shouldn’t be. What you are describing isn’t much different either from taking a few, say, community college credits while working any job, either.
Lol! Here's what 'Larry' had to say about that:
Tony Nelson had a dilemma with Jeannie. In looking back at the premise of the show, Larry Hagman observed, “It was a kind of strange thing. Here’s this guy that finds this bottle and out of this bottle comes this absolutely gorgeous, beautiful girl that’s 2000 years old, and she’s always on the make for him. I mean, always trying to get him in the sack. And my motivation is, you know, I can’t do that, because I’m an astronaut and my career is at stake. How can you live in my home and… well, this just isn’t done. And it was like, here’s this guy with this beautiful girl who can give him anything he wants and he can’t accept it. And then Roger (Bill Daly), my sidekick, is the guy that wants everything. He says, ‘Give it to me, give it to me. I’ll do it.’ The chemistry was wonderful between all of us.” One would imagine that if the show was produced today, Tony Nelson would have had such a difficult time accepting Jeannie’s…. generosity.
