Bill Clinton: Congressional clerk

克林頓：國(guó)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(shuō)他應(yīng)該沒(méi)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(guò)轉(zhuǎn)校，所幸后來(lái)美國(guó)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。
