12) Big Business (Part II)

Did you know...that Andrew Carnegie's first job was as a bobbin boy at a cotton factory in Pennsylvania, where he made about $1.20 a week. Fifty-two years later, at the age of 64, Carnegie sold his Carnegie Steel Company for $480 million.

How do you think Carnegie was able to become such a successful businessman?
