Luck was required, but not sufficient. What are the odds that, while bumming around, you'll meet a guy who singlehandedly built an awesome home computer, and needs someone to market it? Jobs took initiative he wasn't the only one who knew Woz, but was the only one to use that opportunity. But, on the other hand, if he never met Woz, there'd be no Apple - so, lots of luck was required.
You can luck your way into being a super Type A manipilative boomer with good taste before personal computers became a thing, before everyone was effectively required to have degree, and knowing a hobbyist electrical engineer who's capable of making a computer from scratch and not Type A.
