The image depicts a graduate in full cap and gown at a store counter extending a framed diploma toward the cashier. The cashier stands with arms crossed next to a cash register and computer monitor. Shelves with green and brown bottles appear on the left side of the frame.

The speech bubble contains the exact words from the graduate stating he has no job and no money but suggests the diploma as payment. The diploma itself shows a blue seal and the word DIPLOMA printed clearly. The graduate wears black shoes with white socks visible below the gown.

The scene is set at a checkout area with a gray counter spanning the bottom of the image. The artist signature appears in the lower left corner along with the website reference.
