i had the chance to read "The Juggling Act" by Pat Gelsinger, which is about a lot of things, and among these also about his work at intel.

the thing that struck me the most that a) intel was paying for his tuition b) he used to have enough flexibility to attend classes, in person.

for people who don't know, Pat Gelsinger is the guy behind the intel 386 and 486, and has been recently made CEO of Intel.
