Steve Jobs was born February 24, 1955, in San Francisco, California, and was adopted by Paul and Clara Jobs. As a kid he showed an early interest in electronics and gadgetry, but he never would have guessed that he would become the founder of a multimillion dollar company.
Normally when students drop of out of college they don't end up making a huge amount of money, but this time that wasn't the case. Steve Jobs dropped out of college after completing his sophomore year when he decided to team up with Steve Wozniak to sell personal computers, currently assembled in Jobs' garage. Unfortunately, he was forced out of the company in 1985 and started the NeXT Corporation. About a decade later Apple offered Jobs his old job back because they were having problems with their company. So Apple bought NeXT concluding in him returning.
Steve Jobs was extremely successful for 30 years old, he was already a multimillionaire and the CEO of Pixar, one of the most well known animation companies to this day.
Sadly, Jobs was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in 2003 and had to have surgery in July of 2004. Then in January of 2011 he had more troubles with his health and announced that he was taking a medical leave of absence. He resigned as Apple CEO on August 24 2011, saying "I have always said if there ever came a day when I could no longer meet my duties and expectations as Apple's CEO, I would be the first to let you know. Unfortunately, that day has come." He remained with the company as Chairman of the Board until he died about five weeks later.
Steve Jobs was a very tech savvy man who changed the technology industry forever, and we will all miss him greatly.
