colleges in the USA. He chose to go to Harvard to study law. He focused more on his interest in
computers than on coursework there. He often relaxed by playing video games in Harvard’s

with his friend, Paul Allen. However, he later said, “I don’t think dropping out is a good idea”. In
2007, he received an honorary degree from Harvard. He began his speech by saying this to his
father in the audience. “I’ve been waiting more than 30 years to say this: Dad, I always told you
I’d come back and get my degree.” Bill Gates is no longer working full time for Microsoft. He is
