When his family moved to Milan, Italy, Albert decided to study Physics at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology
in Zurich, Switzerland He failed the Institute’s entrance exam, but after a year’s study at a school near Zurich, he passed and entered in 1896 He graduated in 1900 Then he became a private physics and mathematics tutor for two years
In 1902, Einstein took a job in the Swiss Patent Office in Bern The work was not very demanding, so he had plenty
of time to develop his theories that would later change science forever In 1909, Einstein finally left his job at the Patent Office and began his longlife career in the academic world His genius had begun to be recognized, and by 1914 he was at the top of his profession as a member of the Royal Prussian academy of sciences in Berlin In 1921, he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics
In 1933, when Hitler came into power, Einstein moved to the U.S.A He became a professor at the Institute for Advanced Study and remained there until his death on April18th, 1955
