Bill Gates Research Paper

I chose this individual because I believe he is one of the most influential people in the computer engineering world. He is a good example of how hard work and dedication to a profession can have a great turn out in the end which is something that also attracted me to further research his background story and life achievements. Bill Gates has had a great influence overall in both the hardware and the programming aspects of the computer world. Gates is also the owner and an engineer in his own company, which is one of the top computer software companies in the world, Microsoft.

Gates had been interested in computers since the age of 13. He went from going to Lakeside school to Harvard University. While at Harvard he was pursuing a law degree. However, this goal of a law degree was not his own but instead it was his parent’s goal for him. After two years of law school he dropped out to join his high school friend, later

In Gates’ case, he was going to law school not because he wanted to be a lawyer nut because his parents wanted him to become that. He then chose his own route to success which led him to where he is now, one of the wealthiest men in the world. His name is also known world-wide but, I believe his most incredible achievement was doing all of this with no college degree which by today’s standards would be near impossible. This has affected my own choice in career because I see the great amount of potential someone can have in the computer engineering world by being good at the profession. The research on him has also shown me the great impact one can have on millions of people through software’s and computers. Thanks to the wealth he has established, he has given back to his community through his donations in charities as well as investing in students with potential through his scholarship, the Gates Millennium
