About

"What People Think I Do / What I Really Do" is a series of visual charts depicting a range of preconceptions associated with a particular field of occupation or expertise. Unlike image macro series that are based on singular stereotypes like Advice Animals, this series compares varying impressions about one's profession held by others, self-image and the often mundane reality of the job.

Origin

The "How it Really Is" (Science Student) instance of the series was first spotted on Facebook February 7th, 2012. The chart summarized various preconceived notions and generalizations that are associated with that field of study.


SCIENCE STUDENT February 7米 Realities of a MECN student. Likce Comment - Unfolloy Post -Share u 6 people like this OH YEAH!!! Love it!!!) February 8 at 10:12am Like Write a comment. How my friends see me How my family sees me How I see myself Keep gods Out of Government! Atheists How society sees me How religious people see me How it really is

Precursor

The multi-perspective approach in visual jokes has been previously adapted by other survey template memes like "How People View Me After I Say I'm X" and "What I Watched vs. What I Expected vs. What I Got".

Spread

The "What I Really Do" (Property Manager) instance was created by Know Your Meme member Théron Regnier on February 8th, 2012 and the trend logged. The "Contemporary Artist" instance was uploaded by artist Garnet Hertz via his Facebook page[9] on February 9th, 2012. Similar image "what people think directors do" was posted by Canvas user ItchyBarracuda[1] and the thread spawned several derivative versions including freelance programmer, tech support and videogame beta tester.

The "Director" instance was picked up by a number of personal blogs[3][4][5] and professional websites on the following days, spawning additional derivatives along the way. On February 13th, PC Magazine[6] reported on the series as a trending meme on Facebook. The same day, photography website Fstoppers[2] presented the photographer's edition in an article titled "Photographer MEME: What People Really Think I Do."
