15 Famous — And Surprising — High School Drop Outs
Bill Cosby
Believe it or not, Bill Cosby never graduated from high school. Despite being extremely bright, the funny man dropped out at 17-years old to join the Navy, where he did eventually earn his GED. He went on to become a student at Temple University, where he also dropped out – though this time to focus on comedy. But his successive school drop-outs have done little to mar his credibility in the academic world. Thanks to extensive humanitarian and social work, Cosby’s been awarded a number of honorary doctorate degrees.
