Considering who this man is and the enormity of his conduct in the Bush administration, this seems like a mighty incongruous statement. Perhaps he prefers a legacy that contravenes his reality.

Great question! I think about it all the time looking back over a 30 year in the law. I took an undergraduate degree from the Business School at a prominent eastern university confident that the business courses would be my ticket to security and riches. As it turned out, the course that has affected my life the most was the History of Art, part II, that I took in my last semester after dropping public speaking, closely followed by literature, history, philosophy, & etc. These courses unlocked the world for me as I became mature enough to explore it. Never did use Accounting 101. One never knows how fate is going to punch one's carefully crafted ticket, so prepare to be surprised. All the best of luck to you.
