Bill Clinton: Congressional clerk
克林頓:國會職員
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銷商,母親是護士,按說他應該沒有什么經濟上的負擔,但喬治城大學還是讓他發了愁,除了獎學金和父母的資助外,他還得找一份工作,才能支付高昂的學費。他甚至想過轉校,所幸后來美國參議院外交關系委員會給了他一份年薪3500美元的兼職。
