In 1900, Albert Einstein was a desperate job hunter.
It took Einstein nine years before he became a professor despite best efforts after college. He blamed his difficult situation on his physics professor Heinrich Weber who held a grudge against him and provided unfavorable references.
Einstein said,”I could have found a job long ago had it not been for Weber’s underhandedness.” Apparantly, Weber was an early fan of Einstein in college but changed his mind because Einstein “skived” his lectures.
Weber said,
“You are a clever boy, Einstein, a very clever boy indeed. But you have a great shortcoming: you don’t listen to anyone!”
Einstein, as it’s written, was a rebellious student who didn’t respect traditional schooling and received bad grades (except math and physics).
