In 1948, following his graduation, he was rejected for a post he wanted with Procter & Gamble. So he moved to Texas to go into the oil business and snagged an entry-level job through a family connection.

New Races (Their Own) for 2 Bush Sons

Jeb Bush attended the University of Texas, not Yale, but, like his father, he graduated in two-and-a-half years and with a Phi Beta Kappa key, too

"I do solemnly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic, that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same: that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion, and I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God."

After Bush received his military discharge, he enrolled at Yale University. He earned an undergraduate degree in economics on an accelerated program that enabled him to graduate in two and a half years, rather than the usual four.[14]

Bye-Bye Yahoo CEO: The Ethics of Resume Fraud
By: National Ethics Association on May 14th, 2012
Watching the ouster this week of Yahoo CEO Scott Thompson leaves us scratching our head. Why would someone talented enough to head up a major technology company claim to have a phony computer-science degree?
no one is immune to punishment for credential fraud. Just ask Dave Edmondson, who in 2006 was forced to resign as Radio Shack CEO for claiming two fake degrees. Or Ronald Zarrella of Bausch & Lomb who offered to resign as CEO and wound up seeing his $1.1 million bonus rescinded. Zarrella had listed a phony NYU MBA on his resume.
