Bill Clinton: Congressional clerk
克林顿:国会职员
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.
克林顿的继父是汽车经销商,母亲是护士,按说他应该没有什么经济上的负担,但乔治城大学还是让他发了愁,除了奖学金和父母的资助外,他还得找一份工作,才能支付高昂的学费。他甚至想过转校,所幸后来美国参议院外交关系委员会给了他一份年薪3500美元的兼职。
