His earliest journalism jobs included serving as news and public affairs director for KPEN 97.7 FM and writing for the ''San Jose Metro'' alternative newspaper. Plotkin eventually earned his associate degree in history from Foothill College in 1985 and his bachelor's degree in behavioral sciences, with distinction, at San Jose State University in 1986. He also ghostwrote two books and served as an editorial consultant on several others during this period.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hal Plotkin」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
