美總統(tǒng)首份工作：奧巴馬當過雜工.

　　美國總統(tǒng)大部分都是從眾議院選舉出來的，因此他們在成為總統(tǒng)之前也是和常人一樣擁有一份小工作，那么美國總統(tǒng)們的首份工作都是啥呢，愛英語學習的同學們來跟著澳際小編來瞧瞧吧。

　　Obama: Ice cream scooper 奧巴馬：冰激凌店小工

　　President Obama recently said in a magazine interview that he was paid minimum wage or close to it in his first four jobs.He scooped ice cream at Baskin-Robbins, worked as a painter and waited tables at an assisted living facility.Obama spent one summer clearing construction sites on the Upper West Side when attendingColumbia University.

　　While some Presidents (think Roosevelts, Bushes, JFK) are pretty well-off compared to the majority of people they&aposre elected to represent, Obama is not alone. There are plenty of former commanders-in-chi who knew what it was like to work hard for low wages.

　　近日，奧巴馬在接受一本雜志采訪時透露，自己年輕時也曾是打工仔，最初四份工作的工資比最低標準高不到哪兒去。他曾在一家名為“芭斯羅繽”的冰激凌店舀過冰激凌、做過油漆工、也在養(yǎng)老院當過勤雜工。在哥大學習期間，奧巴馬還做過建筑工地的清理工。 相比出身顯赫的羅斯福、布什和肯尼迪，奧巴馬顯得有些辛酸，不過還有許多總統(tǒng)和他一樣，清楚地知道拿著微薄薪水拼命工作的滋味。

　　Ronald Reagan: Lifeguard, dish washer 里根：救生員、洗碗工

　　Reagan lifeguarded for several summers at Rock River in his hometown of Dixon, Ill., while in high school. He reportedly saved 77 lives.He attended Eureka College in Illinois on a partial football scholarship and covered the remaining cost by washing dishes at his fraternity house.After graduating in 1932, Reagan got a job as a radio sportscaster at WOC in Davenport, Iowa. The radio station paid him $10 per game ($174 in today&aposs dollars).Reagan, of course, eventually went on to Hollywood.

　　高中時代的里根曾在家鄉(xiāng)狄克遜的羅克河做了好幾年的救生員，救起過77個溺水的人。 隨后他進入尤里卡學院學習，靠踢足球踢來的獎學金和洗碗工的工資付學費，沒讓家里掏一分錢。1932年，畢業(yè)后的里根在愛荷華州的一家廣播電臺當起了播報員，當時每播一場比賽，電臺只給他10美元。不過后來，他去好萊塢混了。

　　Gerald Ford: Burger flipper 福特：烤漢堡員

　　Ford helped out at his stepfather&aposs paint store and grilled burgers at a local restaurant while in high school.He also played a lot of football, eventually playing center for the University of Michigan. Both the Green Bay Packers and the Detroit Lions offered him contracts, but Ford turned them down because he wanted to attend law school.

　　Ford didn&apost gain admission immediately, so he got an assistant football coaching job at Yale, making $2,400 for the year in 1935. That would be $42,676 in 2014 dollars. He also coached boxing, helping him to pay down his debts and get a foot in the door at Yale Law School, where he was admitted in 1938.

　　同樣也是在高中時代，福特在繼父的印刷店里幫忙，除此之外，還在當?shù)氐囊患铱觳偷昀锟緷h堡。福特的橄欖球打得很好，在密歇根大學校隊打中鋒時，由于球技精湛，被底特律獅隊和綠灣包裝工隊同時相中，不過福特都沒答應，因為他心心念念的是耶魯法學院。

　　申請學校的一段時間里，他也沒閑著，一邊在耶魯做橄欖球助教、一邊還教人打拳擊。憑著這兩份薪水，他在還清貸款之余，還掙了不少，僅橄欖球助教就讓他在1935年掙了2400美元(相當于如今的42676美元)。1938年，福特如愿以償，拿著自己掙的學費進了法學院。
