He returned to Salt Lake City for financial reasons and began working for the Salt Lake Herald. Once he saved enough money he traveled to Paris, France where he studied at the Académie Julian. While in France he decided to focus on sculpture, although his watercolor paintings were also acclaimed. Returning to the United States he spent most of his life in New York City. Young created Native American statues for the American Museum of Natural History and submitted artwork for 20th Century Fox studios. During the depression he taught for the Art Students League.
