[tps_title]11. Steve Jobs[/tps_title]
Much like Bill Gates, Steve Jobs left college on nothing more than the overwhelming feeling that he was not going to find his true calling there. In a now-famous commencement address (see below., Jobs explains that he “decided to drop out and trust that it would all work out okay.” Luckily for him and the rest of the computer-using world, it did. Jobs teamed up with engineering wiz Steve Wozniak to create the world’s first personal computer, leading to a wave of innovation that culminated in the Apple line of products. After being kicked out of the company he started, Jobs founded animated movie giant Pixar. He would later return Apple and spearhead a Renaissance led by the creation of the iPod.
An unauthorized biography of Job’s life and business career labeled Jobs as “the biggest second act in the history of business”, with the first being Bill Gates.
