Here's what Wikipedia says..<br /><br />After high school, he went to New York University (NYU), where he studied communication and film. He was never committed as a student, so he failed a film course, and was eventually expelled.[9] He later briefly attended City College of New York.<br /><br />So Steve Jobs, Woody Allen, Bill Gates. I think what ties them together is that they all spent alot of time being excellent at what they wanted to do. I can't believe that is was the money that made them do it. Otherwise they would have all gone into finance, since that's where the most of the money is.Coordinator of the Printernet Projecthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08225553436567452557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4022445462564139564.post-54521850606800889482009-07-28T09:52:14.167-04:002009-07-28T09:52:14.167-04:00Actually I think it was Gates who left Harvard and...Actually I think it was Gates who left Harvard and Jobs who left Reed. I thought it was really interesting that he spent two years becoming as good as he could in handwriting. It seems so far away from business, design and computers.<br /><br />Don't know about Woody Allen.

He dropped out of Harvard to become one of the richest men in the world similar too Bill Gates and Woody Allen both of whom are also very successful. Woody Allen not so much.Conormachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03790779291596619493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4022445462564139564.post-78456548354331265042009-07-27T17:47:36.036-04:002009-07-27T17:47:36.036-04:00yup.

There should be plenty of time for both.<br /><br />A good friend who went to Reed College told me that Steve Jobs who also went to Reed dropped out of college after the first year. Then spent two years studying and practicing caligraphy before he went on to change the world.Coordinator of the Printernet Projecthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08225553436567452557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4022445462564139564.post-50750970902253620502009-07-27T10:58:11.030-04:002009-07-27T10:58:11.030-04:00Very true.
