They say education is the only thing that we can treasure in our lives in the future that's why our parents send us to schools, even to the prestigious schools in order for us to have a good job, to be successful, and a have bright future ahead. But learning in SCHOOL that the great scientists Albert Einstein, and Thomas Alva Edison are school dropouts, we came to a point thinking that, "hey, is education really that important in order to succeed?".
Now we've all heard about all these scientists, and other famous people but to add to this list are some personalities from our generation. While the students are busy doing homeworks, thesis, projects, reports and other school requirements, these famous personalities actually ditched school and started building their fortunes, and look where they are now.

He found salvation on hip-hop and look where he is right now. He is one of Hollywood's lord of rap, an icon and an idol.He endorses brands such as Dell and Budweiser. And, not leaving the fact that he is Mr. Beyonce Knowles, he really is one fortunate guy.
