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's dollars).
Reagan, of course, eventually went on to Hollywood.
高中時代的里根曾在家鄉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。
