The Computer Degree Money Maker
Description
A four-panel Mr. Lovenstein comic shows a pink performer on a stage shouting "SHAKE YO' MONEY MAKER!" while a blue character watches. The blue character thinks hard, then proudly holds up a document labeled "Computer DEGREE" while the sound effect says "SHAKE SHAKE." In the final panel, the performer slaps the blue character with the speech bubble "WRONG!" and the footer reads "THIS COMIC MADE POSSIBLE THANKS TO JEREMIAH BROCKMAN" and "MRLOVENSTEIN.COM." The technical humor comes from the gap between the promised financial upside of a computer science credential and the awkward reality that a degree alone is not the same thing as career capital, practical skill, or market timing.

The degree can make money; it just has to finish amortizing four years of compiler trauma first.
