Not Educated - But you can still become a millionaire !

Education is a big word and is a must - without Education you are nothing, to be successful in life you must be Educated, Education plays a key role in our life, Education is the first step to being successful in your life. This is what we keep hearing since childhood, but is education really necessary to be successful in life? I don't think so. But many may differ to what I say. Here is the example of few such persons who are not highly educated but have made it big in life and have become millionaires in their respective fields.

We use iPhones and iPads in our daily lives, but many of us still do not know who is Steve Jobs. He was the CEO and co-founder of Apple Inc. But the big point is - He was a college drop out. He was only interested in computers and in 1976, he made his first computer which was called Apple 1, slowly he began to expand and today we use iPads, iPhone, iPods etc which are the products of Apple Inc, today it has more than 100,000 employees and is a million dollar company.

Everyone would have surely heard of Oprah Winfrey, if not she was the host of one of the most popular talk shows "Oprah Winfrey Show". The show that created history and was rated the number one show for more than a decade. Born in a poor family, Oprah Winfrey, at a very early age worked in a radio station. But what comes as a surprise is that she dropped out from her college to pursue her career as a media person. Today Oprah Winfrey is North America's only black person who is a millionaire.
