美總統(tǒng)首份工作五花八門：奧巴馬當(dāng)過雜工

Richard Nixon: Produce buyer

尼克松：采購員

Nixon did not come from money.

"You could literally say they were dirt poor," said Barbara Perry, a co-chair of the Miller Center Oral History Program at the University of Virginia.

Nixon's financial troubles stemmed from the failed lemon ranch his parents owned until 1922. His father then opened a combined grocery store and gas station in Whittier, Calif., where the entire family worked.

Nixon would get up every morning before school to go into Los Angeles and check out the available produce selection, said historian Richard Norton Smith.

In 1930, Nixon enrolled in Whittier College, and later won a scholarship to Duke University's law school.

尼克松家條件不好，甚至可以說是困苦。1922年，尼克松家的牧場破產(chǎn)。隨后，父親用僅剩的家底開了雜貨鋪和加油站，全家人都在店里幫忙。凌晨4點(diǎn)，尼克松就必須起床，開著家里的卡車去進(jìn)貨，然后才去上學(xué)。
