family struggled to make ends meet, and at the age of 13, Carnegie took a job as a bobbin boy in a cotton factory. He earned $1.20 for a full week's
work. A series of jobs of increasing responsibility followed this career start. Carnegie worked as a telegraph messenger and operator. He worked at
a variety of jobs for the railroads, working his way up from a position as an assistant to an upper management position.
Along the way, this remarkable man invested his earnings in a variety of businesses. After some time, he left his job at the railroad and
concentrated on managing his own investments. He developed several businesses and eventually went into the steel business. Carnegie made
several advancements in this industry. His company improved both the technology and the methods used in the steel making process.
By 1901, this former $1.20 a week worker had amassed a fortune. Carnegie believed people of great wealth had an obligation to use it to
