Bush Junior was an average student and was rejected by the University of Texas School of Law.

Military service: <\/strong>Before attending Harvard Business School, Bush Senior joined the Texas Air National Guard.

Commercial activities: <\/strong>After graduating from Harvard, Bush was ready to use his MBA. In 1977, the future president started Arbusto Energy, which later became Bush Exploration.

Perhaps Bush's most profitable investment was in the Texas Rangers baseball team. After investing $ 500,000 in the team and leading a group of other investors in purchasing the franchise for $ 89 million, Bush became the general manager partner. Junior actively participated in team activities and attended many of the games, choosing to sit with fans rather than being in a private box. Finally, Bush Junior decided to sell his shares in 1998 for $ 15 million. This represented a massive gain, as Bush had only personally invested $ 800,000 in the team.<\/p>\n
