When he was young he was the worst in class. His parents settled in Italy when he was 15. He soon was expelled from school in Germany and joined his family in Italy. He finished high school in Switzerland; where he graduated with a teaching degree from the "Swiss Federal Institute of Technology." However he did not find a job until 1902. At the Swiss patent office, he worked there for seven years.in 1903, he married Maria Marie. Albert Einstein conceptualized the theories of general relativity and special relativity.
