It had been a long four years for Eldridge. He wasn’t the brightest star in the sky but he worked hard at his studies. He wasn’t thick either. He was of average intelligence pursuing a fairly challenging cytological degree specializing in chromatids of metaphase chromosomes.
His final exam was coming up. Eldridge studied like there was no tomorrow. A science laboratory in his very city was after a young, enthusiastic technician specializing in chromatids of metaphase chromosomes. Eldridge applied and got the job provided he passed his final exam. Such a promise made Eldridge study even harder.
Well as luck would have it Eldridge passed his final exam with flying colours! Unfortunately the laboratory had moved to China. Three years later Eldridge was still stacking shelves in a supermarket.

Well, at least he found an honorable profession.

Indeed. There’s little future in chromatids of metaphase chromosomes.

How very stupid of him. If he had only graduated 25 years earlier he would have had a long, promising career.

Agreed. I mean look at the success of Shakespeare compared to some struggling Wisconsin playwrights these days.

Everything China. Maybe he should have moved there and started a rebellion?

I mean, obviously, a general cytological degree would come in handy in the grocery business, but with an emphasis in chromatids of metaphase chromosomes? What an unfortunate idiot.
