Gordana Jankuloska stands barely five feet tall and weighs just over 100
pounds. Her modest apartment is strewn with stuffed animals. When she's not
working, she likes to watch Animal Planet on TV. As a young commercial
lawyer, she could be making good money in London, where she got her degree.
So why is she working for $4.35 an hour running the security services in a
former East Bloc country known for its underworld-style corruption? "It's a
unique chance," she says, "to do something really big." In this month's
segment of WORKING, Sandy Tolan introduces us to the 32-year-old "whiz kid"
interior minister of Macedonia.
