Haskell became a school teacher at age 18 and taught for three years in Putnam County. He "read the law" and on December 6, 1880, he passed the bar exam.
He became a practicing attorney at age 20 without having academic training in the field. In his work as an attorney, Haskell became one of the most successful lawyers in Ottawa, the county seat, as well as one of the most prominent members of the Democratic Party in northwestern Ohio. In 1888, Haskell started work as a general contractor; for the next 16 years, his business career gave him an understanding of American industrialism.
