20 celebs you didn’t know dropped out from school – This will shock many! (With Pics)

17. Chris Rock

Chris Rock has used his high school dropout story in his stand-up routines. He actually has used his fame and success to plug the importance of schooling and education. Way to go, Chris! He said that back in 1989, he was working as a dish washer and earning minimum wage. Barely. That is because he dropped out when he was in the 10^th grade, and as Rock says, when you drop out in 10^th grade, you may as well have dropped out in the 2^nd grade. Because it will get you the exact same job. “Dropping out of school is the dumbest thing you could ever do.” Good words, Chris!
