Billionaire Mark Cuban Visits Whitney M. Young Magnet High School
Growing up in Pittsburgh, Cuban told the students, there was nothing special about him. He wasn’t a great athlete or the smartest kid in his class. He told a story about being 12-years-old and asking his dad for a new pair of shoes, his father told him to get a job if he wanted new shoes. At that point, with the help of a family friend, Cuban began selling garbage bags door-to-door and had his first business experience.
