Which two jobs did Graves undertake to raise funds for the first Cane's?

• A. Boilermaker, and stockeye salmon fisherman
• B. Carpenter, and electrician
• C. Waiter, and busboy
• D. Farmer, and landscaper

Answer: (A)

Graves funded the first Cane’s by taking on demanding, high-earning work outside the restaurant world, then using those earnings to invest in the new concept. He worked as a boilermaker, a skilled trade that pays well and allows for substantial savings, and he also spent time as a sockeye salmon fisherman, a seasonal, hard‑driving job that can bring in a large amount of money in a short period. This combination gave him the capital needed to launch the first Cane’s. The other pairings don’t align with the known story of how he raised funds, which is why this choice is the best fit.
