10. Brad Pitt
Here’s one for the college drop-outs: Brad Pitt studied journalism at the University of Missouri before dropping out in his last semester to chase his dream of being an actor. He was actually only a couple of credits short of a degree. After dropping out, he packed up his things and drove to Los Angeles where he worked a plethora of jobs for several months to support himself.
These jobs included; driving strippers around in a limousine, dressing up as a chicken for a restaurant and delivering refrigerators. He was discovered by an agent whilst accompanying a fellow acting student to an audition. The other student was not chosen though – that’s a little awkward, don’t you think?
