A humorous cartoon highlighting the irony of career ambitions. Timmy, a child prodigy taking university exams at age six, proudly announces his dream of becoming a blogger, while an adult jokingly warns him that only the best can achieve such a goal. The caption adds to the satire, suggesting that if blogging doesn't work out, he can always fall back on rocket science or brain surgery. The comic plays on the contrast between traditional high-achievement careers and modern digital aspirations.
