Fresh out of Columbia where Graham was his professor, Buffett even offered to work for free, but Graham playfully declined.
However, Buffett's persistence paid off. A few years later, Graham extended an invitation, and Buffett got the job. It is fun to imagine him somewhere in the office in the background as this was filmed.
