Early Life and Education
George was the youngest of six children born to a prominent Midland attorney and his wife, leading to an eventful but not always successful childhood. He attended Sam Houston Elementary School before graduating from Phillips Academy in Andover, Massachusetts with a bachelor’s degree in law from Yale University and master’s in business from Harvard Business School. Following graduation, George began working in the oil industry where he met and married Laura Welch – born and raised in Midland’s oil capital – before embarking on his collegiate career in law enforcement.
Professional Career
Professional careers exist around the world, including accountants, engineers and architects. Some people also work in medicine, natural resources extraction or human resources. Most of these jobs require at least a bachelor’s degree to qualify.
Selecting a career that fits your personality and interests is essential to avoid becoming stressed about finding the ideal job. To gain more insight into what type of occupation might suit you best, try taking an occupational course, volunteering, or shadowing an expert in the field. Speaking to a professional counselor about available options may also help narrow down choices. Once you’ve narrowed down your choices, begin searching for employment – this can be daunting without family support or financial backing from others.
Achievements and Honors
George Bush has a distinguished record in public service, serving as Ambassador to the United Nations, chairman of the Republican National Committee, chief of U. S. Liaison Office in China and director of Central Intelligence Agency.

Personal Life
George is best known for his distinguished career in public service and foreign policy, but most of all for being a proud father to two beautiful daughters: Caroline and Jeb. When not at home or at the gym, you can catch them both enjoying life – especially during George’s recent tour of Asia!

Net Worth
The presidency may be one of the world’s most powerful jobs, but it also comes with a host of perks that often help make its holders wealthy. Each president receives an annual pay cheque of US$400,000 plus post-term comforts like a monthly pension and Secret Service protection.
Furthermore, several former presidents have made wise business investments both before and during their terms to amass significant wealth. Bush, for example, owned a Major League Baseball team and was active in the oil industry before running for office.
Barack Obama didn’t begin with a particularly wealthy net worth, but as his political career progressed and he rose up the political ladder, his fortune has multiplied exponentially. CA Knowledge reports that since leaving the White House, Obama has earned tens of millions in book royalties and speaking fees alone.
