A new TikTok trend where people share their degrees versus where they currently work has many people sharing the pain of studying for many years only to end up working in fields far from their qualifications.

Contrast between academic qualification versus current job

TikTok user @ayandabhelekazi also hopped on the trend, sharing a video taken during her National Diploma in Public Management graduation, and another of herself performing her work duties as a cleaner. In the video, the TikTokker can be seen moping the floor of a building resembling a school, an image that looks far different from that of her graduation day.
