Two Teachers, One OUT OF WORK
Connie and Steve Rice
Connie and Steve Rice relocated from Southern California to work as teachers in Oregon. Both have years of experience, and they enjoyed their classrooms in Oregon. But the national budget woes have hit schools hard. First Connie was laid off, then Steve. Dick Gordon talks with both Connie and Steve about how the lack of job stability for teaching has affected their lives, and about how they heard the welcome news that Steve would be rehired.
SUMMER JOB: selling TIME SHAREs
Eileen Powers >>More
Eileen Powers has been listening to our series of summer jobs and she decided to write in and tell us about hers. One hot June night in 1988, Eileen and a friend decided there had to be more to summer than sitting at home in New York City watching QVC. So they hopped in the car and headed to Cape Cod. After days of trolling for jobs at every restaurant and hotel they knew, the two girls saw an ad in the newspaper for "tour guides." Eileen ended up selling questionable time shares. She talks with Dick about why that summer job is one she'll never forget.
