After leaving high school, Bott qualified for the Commonwealth Public Service in 1933 and went to work in the Post Office in Sydney. He returned to Melbourne a year later and began to study at the University of Melbourne, Bachelor of Commerce, which he completed in 1948 when he returned from the Second World War, having served in the Australian Navy.
