Orphaned at an early age, he was taken under the supervision of Qazim Bey Hydi who took care of his upbringing and education. Cara would later go on to study in Austria, where in 1928 he graduated from the Trading Academy in Linz. After completing his studies, Et'hem returned home where for two years he worked as a teacher. In 1930 he was employed at the Chamber of Commerce in Elbasan. From 1935 to 1944, he worked at the Ministry of Education, first as head inspector and later as director of personnel. Later that year, he would be appointed Finance Minister under the government of Ibrahim Biçaku whom he had been acquainted with back in Austria.
