He is a corporate lawyer you jackass.

After attending the Georgetown University Law Center for one year, he transferred to Yale Law School and graduated in 1996.[21]
Early career
After graduating from law school in 1996, Biden accepted a consultant position at the bank holding company MBNA, whose employees donated more than $200,000 into Joe Biden's senate campaigns.[21][30] Biden delayed his start date at MBNA to serve as co-chair for his father's reelection campaign.[31] By 1998, Hunter Biden had risen to the rank of executive vice president at MBNA.[21] Biden's hiring and other relationships Joe Biden held with MBNA led Byron York of The American Spectator to refer to Joe Biden as "the senator from MBNA".[32][31] Biden departed from MBNA in 1998. He then served at the United States Department of Commerce, focusing on ecommerce policy for President Bill Clinton's administration.[33] In 2001, Biden became a lobbyist, co-founding the firm of Oldaker, Biden & Belair.[34] 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."[21] That same year, he was rehired by MBNA as a consultant, where he was paid a yearly $100,000 retainer until 2005.[31] MBNA's rehiring of Biden was controversial because his father was pushing for passage of the Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act, which was beneficial to the credit card industry and supported by MBNA during Biden's time at the bank.[21][35] The legislation made it more difficult to get bankruptcy protection.[35]
Hunter Biden was appointed to a five-year term on the board of directors of Amtrak by President George W. Bush in 2006.[36] Biden was the board's vice chairman from July 2006 until 2009, was replaced as vice chairman in January 2010,[37] and resigned from the board in February,[38] 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.[21]
