Post Grad Job Search Useless Degree Meme
Dialogue
Overview
This is a two-panel meme using the viral 'That's the neat part' scene from the animated series Invincible. The first panel features protagonist Mark Grayson, labeled 'Me after college', looking confused and worried, with accompanying text that reads 'How do I get a job now?'. The second panel features Omni-Man, Mark's father, labeled 'My degree', with a smug sarcastic expression, pointing his finger at the viewer, with accompanying text that reads 'That's the neat part, you don't'. The meme satirizes the common relatable experience of recent college graduates finding that their degree does not help them secure employment, joking about the perceived declining utility of higher education and difficult modern job market conditions.
Origin notes
This meme is a derivative work using a widely popular template from the 2021 Amazon Prime animated series Invincible, where Omni-Man delivers the iconic 'That's the neat part, you don't' line in a darkly humorous original context. This edited version targeting post-grad employment struggles was shared on X.com (formerly Twitter) by the account @meme.jpg, as sourced from its RSS feed. The base template has been widely repurposed across social media for various sarcastic jokes about unmet expectations and hidden downsides.
