UNUSUAL PEOPLE UNUSUAL JOBS


Steve and Stella Baker live in California. They’ve got two small children, and they are an average American family, except for one thing: she goes to work, he stays at home and looks after the children. Our reporter spoke to Steve and Stella at their home in San Diego:

“My wife has a very good job. She’s an electronics engineer, and she works for the US Navy here. So she works, and I stay at home and look after the children.”

Jim Macartney is a helicopter pilot. He’s British, but he lives and works in Africa.
“I work for the hospital here. I take a doctor and two nurses in my helicopter to the jungle. There are no roads in the jungle . only rivers. People go by helicopter or by boat, or they walk.”

Mrs. Betty Brown is sixty-two. She’s a housewife, and a grandmother and a student! Mrs. Brown lives in Oxford, England, and goes to the University there. She studies Japanese, and she is the first in her class. We asked Mrs. Brown how she learns Japanese.
“My son lives in Japan, he teaches English in Tokyo and sends me Japanese magazines and newspapers, videos of Japanese TV programmes and cassettes of Japanese radio programmes.”
