Oh yes, that old chestnut. Bill Gates is in his mid-50s, not his late 
teens like the original poster. Gates grew up in the fledgling computer 
world of the 1970s when opportunities and expectations were very 
different to what they are now. It's also probably fair to say that Bill 
Gates' story isn't that of the typical IT professional.

When a youngster asks for guidance on career and education I think the 
example of someone born in the mid-1950s isn't really relevant.
