Best Answer

Walt's first job was an a newspaper boy. He worked as a "news butcher" on a train, selling drinks, candy, and fruit. While in high school, Walt worked as a handyman in his father's jelly factory and held a summer job at the post office.

After dropping out of high school at age 16, Walt tried to join the Army but was rejected for being underage. He instead volunteered for the Red Cross and was sent to France to drive an ambulance. After returning from Europe, Walt was hired at the Pesmen-Rubin Commercial Art Studio, drawing and lettering for advertisements. Walt started a "commercial artist" studio with Ub Iwerks, but Walt was soon hired by the Kansas City Slide Company. This was his first experience with animation.

Walt began experimenting with animation in his garage studio, eventually creating a series of Cartoons for the Newman Theater Company. Walt called the shorts "Laugh-O-grams". He quit his job with the Kansas City Slide Company and founded Laugh-O-Gram Studio, which went bankrupt after one year.

Walt and older brother Roy moved to California and founded the Disney Brothers Cartoon Studio (later Walt Disney Productions). He had a hand in character design and story writing, but his main job was producer.
