　　As a child, Ted Turner lived a very lonely life, often separated from his family. During World War Ⅱ， his father served in the Navy. Ed Turner took his wife and daughter with him so they could live nearby but left his 6－year－old son behind in a boarding school in Cincinnati, Ohio. When Ted Turner was in the fifth grade, his father enrolled him in a military academy. Even though Turner had friends at school, it didn’t make up for the absence of his parents and sister.

Coast Guard for a while. In his early twenties, he became general manager of one of his father’s branch offices—the Turner Advertising Company in Macon, Georgia.
