Again, Hunter had a successful career long before his Dad became Veep.
Here, let me help you out.
Biden graduated from law school in 1996 and took a position at MBNA America, a major bank holding company which was also a major contributor to his father's political campaigns.[9] By 1998, Biden had risen to the rank of executive vice president.[9][14] From 1998 to 2001, he served in the United States Department of Commerce, focusing on ecommerce policy.[15] Biden became a lobbyist in 2001, co-founding the firm of Oldaker, Biden & Belair.[16] According to Adam Entous of The New Yorker, Biden and his father established a relationship in which "Biden wouldn't ask Hunter about his lobbying clients, and Hunter wouldn't tell his father about them."[9] In 2006, Biden and his uncle, James Biden, attempted to buy Paradigm, a hedge-fund group, but the deal fell apart before completion.[9] That same year he was appointed by President George W. Bush to a five-year term on the board of directors of Amtrak.[17] He was a board member from July 2006 until he resigned in February 2009,[18] and the board's vice chairman from July 2006 to January 2009,[19] leaving both roles shortly after his father became vice president. Biden said during his father's vice presidential campaign that it was time for his lobbying activities to end.[9]
so the guy was so inept, Bush appointed him to run Amtrak?
