15 Famous — And Surprising — High School Drop Outs

March 13th, 2013 - By Meghan Williams

Given the many, many celebrities who’ve dropped out of high school, it’s obvious that one doesn’t need a diploma to make it in showbiz. Still, we thought we’d take a closer look at 15 of these stars – some of whom were actually gifted, others who’ve since gotten their GED’s, and others who are probably just relieved their occupations don’t call for much education. Click on to find out which stars made the list!

Drake has been very open and honest about his education – or lack of it, we should probably say. The YMCMB rapper dropped out of school at 15-years old, but recommitted himself to his studies, proudly earning his GED in 2012.

    Yea not to nit pick, but I partially agree with @b20927de0473ab507d02a84208702050:disqus in that it would have been nice to show that Lil’ Wayne and Bill Cosby (as well as any others) actually returned to school and earned more than a GED. And @26f81a89f465d1ecd401204df5fbf475:disqus as a Bey fan (not stan), I don’t think people like to show her in a less than extraordinary light when it comes to certain things, but yea neither of Blue Ivy’s parents have a high school diploma

  • Just saying!!

    Where’s Beyonce? Did Mariah graduate? Come to think of it, she probably did. Idk lol and did Whitney? I’m just curious about their education in general.

    Oh, and Paris Hilton also earned her GED. As such, despite her “brazen stupidity,” she still accomplished more than some of our own ever will.

    I am really surprised that, during your (purported) research, you didn’t bother to mention that Bill Cosby actually earned his bachelor’s degree from Temple later in life, and that he also earned Master’s and doctoral degrees from University of Massachusetts @ Amherst – none of the aforementioned degrees are honorary.
