Jeffrey Epstein's Early Career and Education

Jeffrey Epstein's early career was marked by a transition from humble beginnings to a position at the prestigious Dalton School, despite lacking a college degree. He initially held various jobs, including a taxi driver and hot dog vendor, before becoming a math teacher at the influential private school in Manhattan. His unconventional hiring by the school, reportedly under Donald Barr, raised eyebrows due to Epstein's unfamiliarity with traditional educational credentials. While students found his flamboyant style and behavior peculiar, he established relationships with students, which would later prove controversial given the context of his later crimes.
