Lyndon Johnson: Road crew
林登·約翰遜:道路工人
After finishing high school in 1924, LBJ had what some historians have called a "lost period" in his life. With five friends, he bought a car to drive from Texas to California, where he worked some odd jobs for about a year. He hitchhiked back to Texas, where he did some manual labor on a road crew.
In 1927, Johnson enrolled in Southwest Texas State Teachers College. He was a student-teacher at a small Hispanic school in an impoverished area.
When Johnson graduated in 1930, his first teaching job paid $1,530 ($21,796 when adjusting for inflation) for the year. He worked briefly as a teacher before getting a job as a Congressional aide.
1924年高中畢業(yè)后,約翰遜進(jìn)入了所謂的“迷茫期”。他和幾個朋友借了一輛車,從德州開到了加州,想要闖蕩社會,自立門戶。隨后的一年里,他干了一堆稀奇古怪的工作,卻沒什么收獲,于是只好落魄潦倒地流浪回家,在德州做了一段時間的道路工人。
