I guess it worked out for all of them.


Simon Cowell, dropped out at age 16
Johnny Depp, dropped out at age 15
Jim Carrey, dropped out at age 16
Avril Lavigne, dropped out her junior year
Al Pacino, dropped out at age 17
Robert De Niro, dropped out to pursue acting, no age listed
Marlon Brando, expelled and then dropped out
John Travolta, dropped out at age 16
Charlie Sheen, expelled for bad grades weeks before graduation, dropped out
Orlando Bloom, dropped out at age 16
Jessica Simpson, dropped out at age 16; later got her GED
Mark Wahlberg, dropped out at age 14; later got his GED
Quentin Tarantino, dropped out at age 16

No wonder most of those guys don't do shit except try to look pretty and (in Cowell's case) criticize others.

My 9th grade class had something like 1200 students in it. My graduating class was a little over 300... hopefully some of them did something with themselves.

Wow so many of my favorite people are drop outs? Who knew? Proves you don't need a high school degree to be successful. You can make your own success! Group hug now.

why when ever you post a thread here do the village idiots come out with comments like these?

this thread IS about celebrity drop outs, and i've posted the link to the list. it is not condoning dropping out or saying all drop outs are successful hence the comment, "I guess it worked out for all of them".

ffs, think before you post.

And here I was thinking you had hung up your lance. Charge away Ms.Quixote, I enjoy watching you in action :thumbsup:

I know you do. But don't take me all that serious as the person i was referring to actually has the username: VillageIdiot.

My brother dropped out in 10th grade, teachers said he couldn't learn so no point in him staying. He now runs his own business, makes more than I do with college degrees, has his home paid for, and has never taken a dime from taxpayers to support him.

It is all about your attitude and not willing to just wait for things to happen.
Example: my niece, 22 who has no job and complains about lack of money. Ask her what has she done to try to get work, well she put in 1 application a few weeks ago. Apparently employers now come door to door looking for workers ?

Gates come to mind.

Gates did EXTREMELY WELL his entire academic career. He dropped out of Harvard because he saw a rising trend, he had the skills to bank on it, and wanted to seize the day and got really lucky.

Then what the hell is the point in the thread if you get butthurt about peoples' replies?

ffs don't post dumb threads then cry about replies or just don't post them to begin with.

The thread isn't dumb. That list proves you don't need school to be successful. I'm not saying school is bad, but it's not necessary.

Success also has almost nothing to do with how smart you are. It's just a bonus and gives you more opportunities but it isn't the #1 determining factor IMO.
