Bill Clinton: Congressional clerk
克林頓:國會(huì)職員
Clinton attended Georgetown University as an undergrad, but was worried about how to foot the bill. He received some scholarships and help from his parents. His stepfather owned a Buick dealership and his mother was a nurse.
Clinton writes in his autobiography that he was relieved when offered a part-time job as a clerk for the U.S. Senate Foreign Relations Committee that paid him $3,500 ($25,699 in inflation-adjusted dollars) for the year.
"Though I never told anyone at the time, I was afraid I'd have to leave Georgetown and come home, where college was much less expensive," he writes.
克林頓的繼父是汽車經(jīng)銷商,母親是護(hù)士,按說他應(yīng)該沒有什么經(jīng)濟(jì)上的負(fù)擔(dān),但喬治城大學(xué)還是讓他發(fā)了愁,除了獎(jiǎng)學(xué)金和父母的資助外,他還得找一份工作,才能支付高昂的學(xué)費(fèi)。他甚至想過轉(zhuǎn)校,所幸后來美國參議院外交關(guān)系委員會(huì)給了他一份年薪3500美元的兼職。
