Question

16．Jobs quickly became bored with college．He liked being at Reed，just not taking the required classes．In fact he was surprised when he found out that，for all of its hippie aura，there were strict course requirements．When Wozniak came to visit，Jobs waved his schedule at him and complained，"They are making me take all these courses．"Woz replied，"Yes，that's what they do in college．"Jobs refused to go to the classes he was assigned and instead went to the ones he wanted，such as a dance class where he could enjoy both the creativity and the chance to meet girls．"I would never have refused to take the courses you were supposed to，that's a difference in our personality，"Wozniak marveled．
Jobs also began to feel guilty，he later said，about spending so much of his parents'money on an education that did not seem worthwhile．"All of my workingclass parents'savings were being spent on my college tuition，"he recounted in a famous commencement address at Stanford．"I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life and no idea how college was going to help me figure it out．And here I was spending all of the money my parents had saved their entire life．So I decided to drop out and trust that it would all work out okay．"
He didn't actually want to leave Reed； he just wanted to quit paying tuition and taking classes that didn't interest him．Remarkably，Reed tolerated that．"He had a very inquiring mind that was enormously attractive，"said the dean of students，Jack Dudman．"He refused to accept automatically received truths，and he wanted to examine everything himself．"Dudman allowed Jobs to audit classes and stay with friends in the dorms even after he stopped paying tuition．
"The minute I dropped out I could stop taking the required classes that didn't interest me，and begin dropping in on the ones that looked interesting，"he said．Among them was a calligraphy class that appealed to him after he saw posters on campus that were beautifully drawn．"I learned about serif and sans serif typefaces，about varying the amount of space between different letter combinations，about what makes great typography great．It was beautiful，historical，artistically subtle in a way that science can't capture，and I found it fascinating．"
It was yet another example of Jobs consciously positioning himself at the intersection of the arts and technology．In all of his products，technology would be married to great design，elegance，human touches，and even romance．He would be in the fore of pushing friendly graphical user interfaces．The calligraphy course would become iconic in that regard．"If I had never dropped in on that single course in college，the Mac would have never had multiple typefaces or proportionally spaced fonts．And since Windows just copied the Mac，it's likely that no personal computer would have them．"
In the meantime Jobs decked out a bohemian existence on the fringes of Reed．He went barefoot most of the time，wearing sandals when it snowed．Elizabeth Holmes made meals for him，trying to keep up with his obsessive diets．He returned soda bottles for spare change，continued his treks to the free Sunday dinners at the Hare Krishna temple，and wore a down jacket in the heatless garage apartment he rented for $20 a month．When he needed money，he found work at the psychology department lab maintaining the electronic equipment that was used for animal behaviour experiments．Occasionally Chrisann Brennan would come to visit．Their relationship sputtered along erratically．But mostly he tended to the stirrings of his own soul and personal quest for enlightenment．
"I came of age at a magical time，"he reflected later．"Our consciousness was raised by Zen，and also by LSD．"Even later in life he would credit psychedelic drugs for making him more enlightened．"Taking LSD was a profound experience，one of the most important things in my life．LSD shows you that there's another side to the coin，and you can't remember it when it wears off，but you know it．It reinforced my sense of what was important-creating great things instead of making money，putting things back into the stream of history and of human consciousness as much as I could．"
