His father was a candle maker
Benjamin Franklin's father, Josiah Franklin, was a candle maker and soap maker, while his mother, Abiah Folger Franklin, was a homemaker. Josiah had a modest business that supported the family, and he had a total of 17 children, including Benjamin, who was one of the youngest. The family's relatively humble background influenced Franklin's work ethic and entrepreneurial spirit.
Ben Franklin only attended school until he was 7 or 8 years old. His father pulled him out and placed him with a candle maker as an apprentice and later he was an apprentice with his brother as a printer.
The proper term is A Chandler/candle maker a person or company that makes and designs candles.
His parents sent him to grammar school to eventually go into the church in some way. Though he did well at most things, he failed Math. He was later taken out of school, at age ten, to help his father as a candle and soap maker.
He was a soapmaker. It's not Benjamen, it's B-E-N-J-A-M-I-N.
Benjamin Franklin worked as a candle maker for a brief period in his early life. At around the age of 12, he was apprenticed to his brother James, who was a printer, but he also helped in the family business of candle making. This experience lasted until he was about 17, when he left to pursue his career in printing and writing. Thus, his time as a candle maker was relatively short and primarily during his teenage years.
He was never a carpenter.He was only ever a chandler [candle-maker] and a print-master.
