Early Life
|
As a child in a small town, McCarthy attended grade school in a one room building that taught students from first to eighth grade. Following his completion of eighth grade, McCarthy a young venture capitalist founded his own chicken farming business, where he devoted the next four years of his life to accumulating and tending to over 2000 chickens. At the age of 21, however, Joseph decided that he was destined to be more than a poultry farmer, and enrolled himself in a high school. A cunning young man, McCarthy completed the four year curriculum in just one year and continued on to Marquette University, and in 1935 he graduated with a law degree. [2]
