Lyndon Johnson: Road crew

林登·約翰遜：道路工人

After finishing high school in 1924, LBJ had what some historians have called a "lost period" in his life. With five friends, he bought a car to drive from Texas to California, where he worked some odd jobs for about a year. He hitchhiked back to Texas, where he did some manual labor on a road crew.

In 1927, Johnson enrolled in Southwest Texas State Teachers College. He was a student-teacher at a small Hispanic school in an impoverished area.

When Johnson graduated in 1930, his first teaching job paid $1,530 ($21,796 when adjusting for inflation) for the year. He worked briefly as a teacher before getting a job as a Congressional aide.

1924年高中畢業(yè)后，約翰遜進(jìn)入了所謂的“迷茫期”。他和幾個(gè)朋友借了一輛車，從德州開到了加州，想要闖蕩社會(huì)，自立門戶。隨后的一年里，他干了一堆稀奇古怪的工作，卻沒什么收獲，于是只好落魄潦倒地流浪回家，在德州做了一段時(shí)間的道路工人。
