He was the oldest of four children and grew up near Plains, Georgia, where his father was a farmer and the owner/operator of a small country store. He attended school in Plains, Georgia, and was baptized in 1935 at the First Baptist Church of Plains, which strongly influenced his life.

He served in the U.S. Navy for seven years and studied nuclear physics at Union College in Schenectady, New York. He served on the crew of the nuclear submarine Sea Wolf. Jimmy Carter resigned from the Navy in 1953, following the death of his father, to return to Plains, Georgia, to oversee the operation of the family farm. After taking over the operation of the family farm, he started a fertilizer business, operated a cotton gin, a peanut-shelling plant, a farm supply company, and warehouses. By the time Jimmy Carter ran for president, he was the owner of more than 3,100 acres of land and his net worth was $600,000.00 and had total assets of $1 million.
Jimmy Carter began his political career on the Sumner County school board serving as chairman.
