John Hancock attended Boston Latin School, and in 1754 graduated from Harvard University. As soon as he finished his schooling, Hancock went to work in his Uncle's mercantile business. In 1760, when Hancock was 23, his uncle sent him to England to learn the import-export business under an associate there. A year later, he returned to Boston, and in 1763 became a partner in the family business. His uncle died in 1764, and John Hancock became the head of the firm, Hancock House. At that time it was the leading business of its kind in Boston, and with it Hancock acquired 100,000 pounds sterling.
