His whole life story is very interesting, a lot more beyond Apple and Pixar. I very much recommend reading Steve Jobs biography written by Walter Isaacson, great book

Always intriguing to see the reason behind why these successful millionaires/billionaires decided to drop out of college, and even more fascinating seeing what they go on to achieve.

You might also just say they took a break from college to pursue a business opportunity, which did so well they didn't need to go back.
Maybe he got enough knowledge and/or training to make their product before he Quit.

Most of these business owners or ceos put everything on the line & didn't look back.

Not in Steve Job’s case.

He didn’t leave college to build computers or to start Apple. That happened to come later.

I’ll leave you with a Steve Jobs quote to ponder: “A system can only produce a system.”

Some people just don’t want any part in that.

Yes it did come later and he was able to use some of his knowledge he used in the past to tie it all together pretty interesting.

Successfull people don't become that way overnight. What most people see at a glance-wealth, a great career, purpose-is the result of hard work and hustle over time. I pray that anyone who reads this will be successful in life..

Agreed. I watched a lot on his live a few year back. Very interesting individual.

It's been so long, I don't even remember the names of everything I watched on him.
