| Summary | "The Efficiency Expert" by Edgar Rice Burroughs is a novel likely written in the early 20th century. The story centers around Jimmy Torrance, a charismatic and talented athlete on the verge of graduation from university, who faces the daunting challenge of transitioning from academia to the professional world. As he grapples with his lack of practical skills and mounting debts, readers witness his journey filled with ambition, self-discovery, and the hardships of adult life. At the start of the book, we are introduced to Jimmy Torrance as he prepares for the boxing championship at his university, showcasing his athletic prowess and popularity. Following his victory, Jimmy is confronted by the university president about his poor academic performance, which threatens his graduation. This incident catalyzes a realization in Jimmy about the importance of an education beyond sports. The narrative then shifts to his post-graduation struggles in Chicago, where seeking employment proves to be more challenging than he anticipated. Despite his confidence and eagerness to succeed, he faces numerous disappointments, leading him to a crossroads of accepting less-than-honorable job offers or maintaining his integrity.
