Romantic in this video is not meant to be understood in the love or relationship context. Steve Jobs means it more in the idealistic or fairy-tale sense. When he dropped out of school, he had an idealized image of what he pictured his life to be like after. This is why he used the word romantic. Thus, we can see that interesting is not the right way to understand how romantic is used here.
Ex: The life of a musician isn't as romantic as it seems. It can be very stressful sometimes.
Ex: My view on life is very romantic, so I tend to live in the moment instead.
