Lyndon Johnson: Road crew

林登·约翰逊：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年高中毕业后，约翰逊进入了所谓的“迷茫期”。他和几个朋友借了一辆车，从德州开到了加州，想要闯荡社会，自立门户。随后的一年里，他干了一堆稀奇古怪的工作，却没什么收获，于是只好落魄潦倒地流浪回家，在德州做了一段时间的道路工人。
