3. Simon Cowell
He is probably not itching to tell you, but Simon Cowell dropped out of school. Yeah, Simon was just not that great at school, but he is good at being snarky! So he did not let a lack of a degree or diploma get himself down. His parents shipped him off anyway. He ended up going to 16 different schools (some of those were boarding schools) and he still did not get a diploma out of it! Sheesh! Yet Simon worked his way up the corporate ladder and he ended up scoring big. He blasted onto the scene by being a judge on American Idol, and the rest is history.
2. Tom Cruise
Good old Tom Cruise. He jumps on Oprah’s couch and it is quite all right because hey, the guy never finished high school, so cut him a break! He ditched high school and instead set his sights on pursuing an acting career in the Big Apple. Yep, New York City. Actually, before all of that, he was going to be a priest, but meh. He changed his mind. Acting is not that far a cry from priesthood, is it? Anyway, throughout his youth, Tom was taking acting classes and performing in school plays, but that was so beneath him. So he left and just look at what he turned out to be!
