They say that the only jobs where you start at the top are the ones when you’re digging a hole. Steve Jobs didn’t start at the top, but he very quickly moved there. In the late 1970s, Jobs, a college drop-out, with several others developed the Apple II personal computers. In the early 1980s, he took advantage of Xerox PARC’s mouse-driven graphical user interface, which led to the creation of the ubiquitous Macintosh.
