From Tech Engineer to Bus Driver

Text on the meme

After a long, difficult year-plus of looking for work and being demoralized and discriminated against by the high-tech industry, I'm glad to share...more SCHOOL BUS

What it means

A man stands proudly beside a yellow school bus after spending more than a year looking for work in the high-tech industry. The joke is the dramatic career pivot from senior software quality engineer to school bus driver, presenting a humble new job as a major professional announcement. People use it as a bittersweet reaction to layoffs, age discrimination, career changes, or escaping the tech industry.
