Rubbish article. The main reason Jobs and Gates wouldn't get an interview at Microsoft or Google according to the author is because they didn't graduate college.

What the author doesn't mention is why they didn't graduate college, and the reason is because they pursued the development of their own companies that would eventually make them billionaires. What a stupid line of reasoning to draw. If Gates or Jobs did not start Microsoft and Apple and instead concentrated on obtaining relevant degrees, you cannot conclude that they still would have failed in their careers.

I don't really see what point the author of this article is even trying to make.

Yes, Gates would have graduated and gotten a job anywhere. But Jobs quit college after 1 semester and then wandered around for a while. He would not have gotten a job outside of a hippie coffee shop.

Except Jobs did get a job at Atari. The article even mentions this, but hand waves it away as though it didn't count. He also had a job at HP in high school. That's where he met Woz.
