There's this story that was comes to visit him at reed, and steve grabs his course schedule and says, they're making me take all these courses and was just replies, yes, that's what they do in college. So steve is tired of this and drops out after just as mester, he hangs out and will drop in on classes that he's actually interested in. He does that for about a year, but pretty soon he decides he's a living on his parents dime. He decides he's wasting their money and decides to move back to california and move in with his parents. Once he moves back home, he's looking for a job, and he sees a listening for a job at a torry. A torry was one of the very first video game makers. They created pong and someof som early famous games. And the job ads said, have anmake money. And steve decides, o that's the job he wants. So he goes about getting the job in a very steve jobs kind of way. I'm quoting now from the isaacson biography, that day jobs walked into the lobby of the video game manufacturer atari, and told the personnel director, who was startled by his unkempt hair and attire, that he wouldn't leave until they gave him a job. When jobs arrived in the atari lobby wearing sandals and demanding a job, the chief engineer, al alcorn, was the one summoned ill describe the experience this way. I was told, we've got a hippy kid in the lobby. He says he's not going to leave until we hire him. Should we call the cops or let him in? I said, bring him on in and em they hire him that very same day. Steve is a kind of a good employee at atary. He's good at designing games in a really simple and cool way that people like the head guys at a tary really like him for that. But the average workers hate him because he's prickly and arrogant. He thinks he knows better than everyone. He yells at people all the time, and he smells terrible because he's still almost never showeringnd, despite the fact that steve is doing well at a tary, he's still basically an insane hippy at heart. One of his old friends from read ledge, bob friedland, convinces steve that he needs to go to india to find himself spiritually.
