Milton Hershey began his career as an apprentice in a confectionery shop at age 15, which sparked his interest in the candy industry. He later founded his own caramel company, but it initially struggled; however, he eventually shifted focus to chocolate. In 1903, he established the Hershey Chocolate Company, which became highly successful and led to the creation of Hershey, Pennsylvania, a model company town. Hershey was not only a businessman but also a philanthropist, establishing the Milton Hershey School for disadvantaged children.
