Abstract | For the past half-century, a racetrack outside San Diego has recruited educators for jobs during the summer break. But earning extra cash is not the only reason these seasonal employees return every year. Del Mar in San Diego, which was opened in 1937 after being bankrolled, in part by Bing Crosby, remains among the best-attended tracks in the nation and works hard to retain its historical sheen. Over the decades, the track has always recruited educators for jobs during the summer break. In this article, the author reports why educators continue to come back to the racetrack as seasonal workers every summer. He also explains why the track management likes to hire educators for its ushering, working security, overseeing the parking lot, selling tickets and racing forms operations. (ERIC). |
