Jackson did many things before he was President. He passed the bar exam and went to Tennessee to practice law. He bought some land and did some farming. He was appointed as a federal judge. He bought and sold land to make money.

He was the first Congressman from Tennessee and soon thereafter made a US Senator. He found the job frustrating and boring and resigned. He ran a store for awhile. He fought in the war of 1812 and lead the Army in the Seminole War as a general. He served on the Tennessee Supreme Court. He ran for President and won the popular vote but lost the election. He then became a US senator again and won the next presidential election.
