The bigger problem is that these companies all want "rockstars" at age 22 AND ones that will be "company men".

Neither Bill Gates nor Steve Jobs would get in the DOOR at a tech company today. They didn't finish college... Or the RIGHT college. Their own companies would buy their startup and boot them.

It's a culture of childishness that they have so much money and resources they don't have to value WISDOM that employees might bring. In fact they actively ROOT OUT those employees in their hiring processes.. That's why all the games.. They don't want employees that won't play. They have myopic NIH syndrome hard.

It helps a bit if you are filthy rich at the beginning.

Jobs was many things, but not filthy rich at the beginning.

Oh, I have a feeling they'd squeak by, somehow.

Technically.. wouldn't they start their own companies and be in charge of the door anyway?
