A four-panel comic. Panel 1: a young man with spiky reddish hair, looking upset, declares to his dad, "I'm not gonna be an accountant like you, Dad!" Panel 2: now holding a guitar, he says, "I'll become a musician so I don't have to work a real job!" Panel 3: he sits at a computer with his guitar, saying, "I can just sit with my guitar optimizing search results and maximizing click velocity and..." Panel 4: he slumps in defeat in front of a screen full of charts and graphs, muttering, "Aw, dammit" — having realized that being a musician now means doing the same data-analytics drudgery he was trying to escape. Votey (aftercomic): hand-lettered text reads, "Thanks to Facebook, every job can be a customer service job!"
