I do not fully agree with this point, but this pig got to be Jeffrey DaHAMer or HAMnibal Lecter

I could totally imagine a clothed pig sitting in front of a computer
- Literally me (to be fair I'm not always clothed).
  
  A pig wearing a shirt and tie, but no pants.

Why is the pig a cannibal
- It's human meat.
  
  Its just a long pig
  
  Understandable, have a great day.
- Capitalism makes cannibals of us all. 😔
  
  Need entrepreneurial animal farm with a French guillotine twist
- They’re eating human

Isn't there a very famous children's story about a pig that is more equal than the other pigs?
- I wouldn't exactly call it a children's story
  
  My school had me read it when I was a kid.
  
  I think you could read it to children.
- Four legs good
  Two legs ~~bad~~ better

So a billionaire is a real job now? I don't even have to imagine a billionaire being a pig, they all already are!
- But imagine them in a childrens book doing their job
  That is the hard ppart
  
  This is just a stock image but it's not hard to imagine it being in a children's story. Besides, Scrooge McDuck is an existing character in a children's story that is a billionaire as a duck.
- Being billionaire is not a job.
  
  that's what I'm saying, but a pig could be it in a children's story

Am I missing the obvious sarcasm that is somehow not mentioned? as in this pig is an obvious CLASS TRAITOR for being a pig that sells parts of (presumably) other pigs?
- It's allll beef, no pig :)

+
Edit: huh, the '+' did do what i intended but didn't believe it would work.
- You can't convince me the pig in the third pic isn't Winne the 🇨🇳 Pooh.

How am I supposed to imagine a clothed pig splicing fiber cables or setting up a rack full of communications equipment with fiber patches. They don't even have opposable thumbs, how can they unplug an LC plug with its retention clip?
If my job isn't real I'm taking the internet down with me, then he can read his hand drawn memes to his neighbor.
- Take the Internet. We'll be fine.
  pats 1998 Encyclopedia Britannica
  
  I'm embarassed to admit that before reading your comment I was not aware that encyclopedia britannica was available in hardcopy

Does a muppet count?

Pig in a cute sweater planing war crimes.
- This looks nice.

Don't worry guys, it's human meat so it's not weird.

Ah, the pig is preparing soylent oligarch-green, a most sustainable job, I applaud you, pig.

I dare you to find a job that can't be portrayed like that.
Hacker Pig? sure!
Neo matrix Pig? Sure
Politician? Almost indistinguishable
Holywood Director Pig? Nearly by default
Slaughterhouse Pig... NGL, that hits different, but still, I can see that.

Now I'm imagining a pig wearing programming socks.

Dumb question: what is this illustration from? I recognize the art style, but can't place it.
- The Busy World of Richard Scarry
  
  Thanks!
- looks like Richard Scarry

A pig could sit in front of a computer in those books right? Right?!

I could see a dressed up og sitting in front of a computer. That's like the rest of the jobs

What about Police? :O
- The whole term sprung up when founding black panthers were studying police methodologies and found a precinct that used a pig as a mascot.
- Already pigs.

Richard Scarry to the rescue

Brendan Fraser Crane is an interesting handle

Pigs will eat anything.

There is a job that can be represented without any clothes at all.

Every online career be like:

This makes me feel sad about my job, but i upvote anyway

3rd candidate pun:
Oink-oborous

If I paid more attention in English class I could make this into an essay. Something about the "dog eat dog" nature of capitalism and the expectation that you will do it with rosy cheeks. The use of the butcher pig is an interesting take on the idiom as the harsh competition is often thought of as between faceless firms; rather than a blue collar worker. If I was a cultured pig I might have even watched the motion picture "Soylent Green" and weave it into the essay. Is the butcher aware of what goes into the grinder? Could it be that this pig is a revolutionary and is eating the rich pig?
