After passing through High School, he became a student in the office of a leading Certified Public Accountant and his future looked very promising for a while but, his teacher became too popular, at social events and night parties, so that the instructions and study periods became few and far apart, that teacher expected his student also, to be a body-guard to take him home after leaving his social affairs, so a promising career came to an undesirable end.

When the Political Administration changed at Washington D.C., a Mr. Duffy of Paterson, N.J. was named as head of the Newark Office. Mr. Duffy and Mr. Hamilton were both from Paterson, N.J. and were acquainted with each other in Paterson, N.J.. Mr. Duffy knew that Job Hamilton, Jr. had an important position in that office and that no other clerk in that office could handle those accounts and interview the head of large companies as well as Job Hamilton, Jr. and he allowed him to remain in that office for another year longer than the politicians wished but, the politicians hounded Mr. Duffy, demanding that he put a Democrat in that position, so he had to let Job Hamilton, Jr. go.
