Starting in 1853, Thomas A. Scott of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company employed Carnegie as a secretary / telegraph operator at a salary of $ 4. 00 per week.
At age 18, the youth began a rapid advancement through the company, becoming the superintendent of the Pittsburgh Division.
His employment by the Pennsylvania Railroad Company would be vital to his later success.
The railroads were the first big businesses in America, and the Pennsylvania was one of the largest of them all.
Carnegie learned much about management and cost control during these years, and from Scott in particular.
