read your own article. he was unable to get a teaching job until after he published relativity and became famous...rather late in life...afterwards, ofcourse, he had teaching offers to the extreme...
Correct, a friend got him the job in the patent office when he was unable to get an appointment at a university. I believe he also tutored and/or taught secondary school at some point. It's been a long time since I read his biography.
That's a very interesting question. Did he just "invent" a new model, or did he really "discover" something about the fundamental laws of nature? I hope we find out during my lifetime.

I don't think he would appreciate being called an "inventor."

Alright hes one of the greatest physicists to live.

Grades weren't his problem; pissing off his professors was his problem. He couldn't get a teaching job because he couldn't get recommendations.

Reinventing physics isn't the same thing as designing a better mouse trap in your garage. Would you call Yo-Yo Ma one of the best fiddle players?

Sorry, I'm just being a smart ass.

you don't "invent" the laws of nature. you discover them.
