The Job Applicant

John Q. Nerd gets his Master's Degree from the MIT Laboratory for Computer Science here in Technology Square and spends two months looking for a job. Unfortunately, DEC is laying people off and Wang went bankrupt. He's running low on rent money so he decides to work in the Central Square McDonald's on weekends and look for a job during the week.

After John hands in an employment application, the manager tells that he isn't qualified.

"Not qualified!?! I've got a Master's degree in computer science from MIT!" says John.

The McDonald's manager replies, "I'm sorry, but all of our computer scientists have PhDs."
