In the world of academia, a PhD student faces immense challenges, from endless research to rigorous coursework. But as the phrase goes, 'If you think PhD and postdocs are hard, you have no idea about doing a start-up!' This catchy line sets the stage for a relatable and humorous meme scenario.
The meme captures the essence of frustration juxtaposed with humor. The PhD student represents a familiar struggle, while the start-up founder’s panic shows a different kind of pressure, making it relatable to anyone who has faced overwhelming challenges in their career.
By exaggerating the founder’s chaotic appearance and juxtaposing it with the meticulous world of academia, we create an unexpected twist that tickles the funny bone. Adding references to common start-up themes, such as 'out of funding', enriches the context.
The meme should be structured with the PhD student prominently in the foreground, a speech bubble expressing their frustration, while the start-up founder bursts into the scene in the background, hands in the air with chaotic energy, adding to the hilarity of the moment. This setup gives a clear and recognizable context that effectively conveys the funny message.
