It's worthy to note that most of these billionaires who supposedly dropped out to launch startups are in the IT world...bill Gates, Paul Allen, Mark, Steve Jobs etc.. That's a field where ingenuity and creativity really pays off. So dropping out of school couldn't have stopped them. They had all they needed- the passion, the mental capacity and a computer set. Well..about the money....great ideas attract money and not the other way round. So don't get too carried away about dropping out. Lol. 2 Likes |

BadBoy25: this is the only Billionaire I respect . John D. Rockefeller . He is the richest man in history . he was worth about 700 billion dollars until the US Government got jealous and dissolved his Company into the numerous oil companies we have today such as Chevron,Mobil,Shell etc.Since you are still here on nairaland while some are making millions. All billions deserve your respect. They have achieved what you're yet to achieve. Just saying |

bushdoc9919: So,here is the reason why these school drop outs are billionaires I concur with your submission. We need more practicals not theories of those that made. My eastern brothers have this vision though i am not from the east, i love their style and if we can replicate their model all over the country in and out of schools, we wont have unemployment problem and exploitation of the youth. Kano state was doing the same thing the last time i was in that state and i witnessed how a suffering photographer became a big fish farmer in less than a year. Example of eastern brother's model: At a tender age or after secondary school, U go learn a trade, serve for a while and learn all the tricks. About two years to graduating , your master or head teacher hands the business technically over to you and you get stocks from the market, handle sales and render accounts. By the time you graduate you are well equipped to run your own business and admit new students. Most of them have graduates at their beck and call even though they are not graduates while some return back to school to get their first degree just for the fun of it. The success rate of the model is quite high and i made rate it 70% The second model i witnessed while schooling in kano as the self reliance program, werein the state government admitted into various institutions and they were trained in fish farming (aqua culture), crop farming,poultry, barbing saloon, etc, for a duration. at final year, they are giving a prototype business to handle for months and if they do well in it, it becomes their and government provides more funding to the amount of 250k. If Federal government, NYSC, in conjunction with PUBLIC AND PRIVATE SECTOR can llok into this model and develop it, it will go a long way at reducing poverty rate and employment in the society. My suggestion is this, NYSC extended to cover a span of 18 months to 2 years and should be made more practical oriented. Corpers are drafted after orientation to various fields such as poultry farms, marketing, aqua culture farms , welding, boat building, crop farming , Small business enterprise and make them get first hand practical experience , 70% of their allowances should be withheld , government, parents and PPA's should take care of the corpers primary need such as housing and feeding. Towards to the end of the service year if the corper so desire, he can apply to extend his service for another 6 months to enable him/her finalize his or her skills, after which Government , the respective PPA supervisor, the corper and his /her family should use the money to set up such business or outfit for the corper and it should be closely monitored by the financing bank. After the first 18 months loans be made available at 2-6% rate to such an outfit for expansion and such loan should be payable within 3 years. If this model is well modeled , Nigeria will be great again. I rise. 1 Like |

Some lazy a** people love topics like this . With the level of lack of seriousness exhibited by students nowadays, articles like this will only give people (young ones especially) reasons not to be serious with their education. Articles like this is only encouraging to the less privileged. Those who truly cannot afford an education. When you share stories like this with them, at least it gives them hope that despite the fact they never went to school, they can still make it in life. 1 Like |

op are you a school drop out? |
Re: 10 Billionaire Who Dropped Out Of School by Nobody: 8:17am On Jul 23, 2014 |
One more thing. Please when post like these are made the op should at least research on why they dropped out. I haven't heard of any billionaire that dropped out because they were failing academics. They just simply had passion for something else. They themselves decided not to finish and many later went to complete this education to what ever level they wanted. Some people be citing this as reasons why education is not important or as excuse for there failling asses 1 Like |

Re: 10 Billionaire Who Dropped Out Of School by Alexk2(m): 8:51am On Jul 23, 2014 |
It is not the class of your certificates that determine your destiny(destination) but the class of your character as a person. There are "certificateless" people that have great destiny on earth..stop depending of the paper and think of how best you can affect your generatn. i celebrate them...i'm going there too in Jesus name. |

priscaoge: They were determined to be successful because they have set a goal which must be achieved not only through education but through other means! When U are determined,u will make it. Where u are today doesn't matter,what matters is where u will be tomorrow because Determination leads to Success!!!!!!!I think you are missing the point here. most of this guys are exceptional brilliant lads. it was brains and talent that got them where they are today. they honed their skills and talent to become what they are today. |
