I Love My Job I Hate My Job

Text on the meme

“I love my job” *TEACHES KIDS STUFF 60K per year *HELPS ADDICTS GET SOBER 60K per year *HELPS PEOPLE STAY ALIVE 80K per year “I hate my job” *SELLS PEOPLE STUFF 220K per year *DOES NOTHING 350K per year *MAKES SOFTWARE THAT KILLS PEOPLE 450K per year

What it means

A two-row comparison shows people who love socially useful, difficult jobs earning modest salaries, while people who hate lucrative corporate jobs earn much more. The joke criticizes how society rewards selling, doing little, or creating harmful software more than teaching, addiction recovery, or saving lives. It is used as a sarcastic reaction to unfair pay and the mismatch between meaningful work and income.
