There might be a selection bias - off all the people who take that roundabout route; few achieve Jobs’ level of success. We never hear about them.

For sure, the vast majority of people taking the roundabout path don't achieve his level of success.

I just mean it's interesting how there don't seem to be more young people trying to emulate his particular route. Many claim they want to be "the next Steve Jobs" or achieve the same level of success, but then just go the same route as every other ambitious person.

His level of recognition.

Success is something else, not about fame, not necessarily public.
