Him and his family stayed in Allegheny, Pennsylvania, where he worked in a factory for a year, and then moved on to becoming a telegraph messenger. Carnegie later took a job at the Pennsylvania Railroad. There he worked for Thomas Scott as an assistant, and telegrapher. While working in the railroad industry, Carnegie learned a lot and began to make investments. Due to these successful investments, Carnegie left the railroad industry, and joined the steel industry. Carnegie started the Carnegie Steel Company, which helped to increase the production of steel. Carnegie's company made him a very prominent and wealthy man. ]]> 2017-01-19 21:30:23 UTC https://padlet.com/tatumn_symone/y6mkdl7tbp13/wish/148242842 tatumn_symone https://padlet.com/tatumn_symone/y6mkdl7tbp13/wish/148246837 The Carnegie Steel Company began when Andrew Carnegie bought several mills in the Pittsburgh area which were all successful. Because of Carnegie's new ideas, steel making became a lot easier, more effective, and cost less money. This made The Carnegie Steel Company one of the largest steel producers in the country. In 1901, Carnegie sold his steel company to J.P Morgan who started the United States Steel Corporation. After this, Carnegie committed his life to helping others. ]]> 2017-01-19 21:54:11 UTC https://padlet.com/tatumn_symone/y6mkdl7tbp13/wish/148246837 tatumn_symone https://padlet.com/tatumn_symone/y6mkdl7tbp13/wish/148248459 Andrew Carnegie made the most money when he sold the company to J.P Morgan for $480 million.

He believed that those that were wealthy needed to share their wealth. He wrote his beliefs in a article called, "The Gospel of Wealth." Carnegie became a philanthropist and did things like donate $5 million to the New York Public Library so they could use that money to build more libraries. Due to the help from Carnegie, more than 2,800 libraries were built and opened. In Pittsburgh, Carnegie founded the Carnegie Institute of Technology, which later became the Carnegie-Mellon University. Also in regards of education, he founded the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching. The Carnegie Endowment for International Peace was also formed by Carnegie, in hopes of bringing peace to the world. Andrew Carnegie did exactly what he wanted to when it came to helping others, and he spent nearly all of his money doing so. ]]> 2017-01-19 22:13:06 UTC https://padlet.com/tatumn_symone/y6mkdl7tbp13/wish/148249077 tatumn_symone https://padlet.com/tatumn_symone/y6mkdl7tbp13/wish/148250503 http://www.biography.com/people/andrew-carnegie-9238756#philanthropy
