All those jobs did not break Bill but built him.
He did not attend the best school nor was he in the best grades. But when he went to school, he told himself that he was going to be the best.
So, he graduated as first of his class. He was focused. First couple of years in college was not fun but he knew what he wanted to do and where he wanted to be.
He later went to Wall Street and did some good work which allowed him to go to a really good grad school and it just gave the opportunity to do what he wanted to do.
Today, Bill is not interested in doing 2 billion dollar deals of Golden Sachs which are relatively easy but he’s doing 20, 30, 40 or 100 million dollar deals which are changing people’s lives
