After his high school graduation in 1972, Jobs enrolled at Reed College in Portland, Oregon. Reed was an expensive college that Paul and Clara could barely afford. They were spending a lot of money on Steve's higher education funds.
Only six months after being enrolled at Reed, Jobs dropped out and spent the next year and a half attending creative calligraphy classes. He continued to stay on campus, and would sleep on the floor of his friends' dorm room. He would return Coke bottles for food money, and received free meals weekly at the local Hare Krishna temple.
In 1976, Steve Wozniak invented the Apple I computer. After Wozniak showed it to Jobs, Jobs suggest they sell it. They and Ronald Wayne formed Apple Computer in the Job's garage in order to sell it. But after only a short time, Wayne left, leaving Jobs and Wozniak as the primary co-founders of the company. Here is a picture of them standing together with the Apple I.

In 1978, Apple recruited Mike Scott from National Semiconductor to serve as CEO for what turned out to be several turbulent years. In 1983, Jobs lured John Sculley away from Pepsi-Cola
to serve as Apple's CEO, asking, "Do you want to spend the rest of your
life selling sugared water, or do you want a chance to change the
world?" John Sculley here with Steve Jobs next to the Macintosh.
