Famous People Who don't Have the University Degree

In many respects, Steve Jobs, the Apple CEO was a renegade, and this included learning. He was interested in computers from an early age and enrolled at Reed College in Portland, Oregon, but left out after only one term. In India, he pursued Eastern spiritualism before returning to the United States and persuading his partner Steve Wozniak to join him in starting a business.

Kim Kardashian and her family epitomise millennial celebrity, having flaunted their opulent lifestyle in front of cameras and successfully established a multibillion-dollar company around their names. Kourtney Kardashian and Rob Kardashian are the only members of the Kardashian and Jenner families who have completed college. When the reality program began, Kim was attending Pierce College in Los Angeles and working at the family's Dash business, but she quickly left both behind. Kim, who is now practically associated with selfies, has stated that when she is older, she would like to continue her studies and maybe pursue a legal degree.

While they split up when Gates went to Harvard and Allen moved to Washington State, they reconnected just two years later, dropping out to help build Microsoft into what it is today. Paul Allen is still earning millions of dollars without a university degree. Sometimes friends' support isn't worth the money.

With his vehicle company's breakthrough, the assembly line, Ford transformed manufacturing and transportation.
