Franklin was 17 years old when he got to Philadelphia. He had broken the law by leaving his apprenticeship with his brother, but he had already completed a 7 year apprenticeship so he was a trained printer. He found a family friend, but work was hard to find and he was offered a chance to have a job in London. He left for London and in reality it didn't work out well for him, so he went back to Philadelphia. Once, back he was able to work as a printer.

Franklin was 17 when he arrived in Philadelphia from Boston. He had broken his apprenticeship with his brother as a printer. This was against the law at the time. He looked for work as a printer when he arrived in Philadelphia, but was unable to find work. Finally, he was able to get a letter of introduction and this led to a job offer in London. He left for London soon after, but once he got there the job didn't workout for him and he was stranded. A few months went by and he got himself back to Philadelphia and found work as a printer.
