jackbauersballs: 20 Billionaire College Dropouts Definition: A college dropout refers to a person who has dropped out from a college or university before completing his/her degree. Some of the world’s most famous and richest billionaires (including the second richest man in the world, Bill Gates are college dropouts.) But don’t be deceived, just because the average net worth of the below billionaire dropouts is $9.4 billion, doesn’t mean dropping out is a good idea. Especially when considering that the average net worth of billionaire dropouts is approximately triple that of billionaires with Ph.D.s, $3.2 billion …. err pretend I didn’t say anything. Fun Fact: According to a recent report from Cambridge, Mass.-based Forrester Research, 20% of America’s millionaires never attended college. Listed Below Are 20 Of The Most Successful Billionaire College Dropouts 1. Bill Gates  Bill gates mugshot 20 Billionaire College Dropouts Gates is one of the best-known entrepreneurs of the personal computer revolution. Gates is the former CEO and current chairman of Microsoft. Gates attended Harvard in the fall of 1973, only to drop out two years later to found Microsoft with childhood friend Paul Allen. In 2007, more than thirty years after he left Harvard, the co-founder of Microsoft would finally receive his degree (an honorary doctorate) from his alma mater. At the commencement, Gates said, “I’m a bad influence. That’s why I was invited to speak at your graduation. If I had spoken at your orientation, fewer of you might be here today.” University attended: Harvard Net worth: US$ 61 billion (2012) Major: Not Available Company: Microsoft 2.

After spending a summer in Northern California, where he lived with his friend Chuck Weiss, Ellison attended the University of Chicago for one term, where he first encountered computer design.

12 inches!: Exactly what i thought! The first question should be a degree in what? Nowadays secondary education is about enough. Science is advancing speedily and replacing a lot of abilities. Medicine,office jobs,bank jobs etc are going to fade away and replaced by computers in the next 10 to 20 years. Even our cars will be driven by computers,food cooked by computers and less human labor/efforts will be required. Creativity and I.T knowledge is all that matters now! |

I know the lazies will come here and say school is a waste of time and not necessary. No, it's not. Maybe certificates are a waste of time. But how will companies know the individual's capability without a certificate? Note a common trend among all these IT geniuses like Gates, Jobs, Dell, Larry Page, Zuckerberg etc. They were all enrolled in Ivy league schools and were mostly involved in technology research from their junior years. They didn't follow the regular curriculum. They learnt wat they needed, dropped out of school and put what the learnt into action. They also all made network with other intelligent IT geniuses that help them actualize their ideas. Finally, they also were attending Ivy league schools (which means they were not dull). So anytime you want to speak against formal education, also remember that these people drew a lot out from the quality of the professors in the schools they attended, the research facilities available and networking with the other students there. |
