To make us feel better, billionaire proves they can be idiots too

Jobs dropped out because he wanted to drop out, had nothing to do with his parents. Jobs dumped his pregnant gf because he wanted to not because of someone else. I have a lot of respect for his technical vision but he was a self centered asshole with zero empathy for others.

Yes, Jobs dropped out because he didn't want to spend his parents' money attending college (they were not wealthy and could ill afford his tuitions and living expenses).

There are similarity between the two: Jobs cofounded Apple, the real technical brain behind Apple was Wozniak. Ma cofounded Alibaba, the real technical brain behind was someone else.

A successful business person is mostly not a technical genius but someone who is able to sense opportunity and figures out a way to take advantage, an integrator. Most technical genius cannot but an integrator can.
