Have you ever wondered if celebrities go to college after becoming famous?

Do they only get a High School Diploma? Do some celebrities pursue a Master’s Degree?  The true is… every celebrity has a different educational background.

Some of them, despite they’ve gotten everything they wished for, luxury houses, expensive cars & all the fame they could have ever imagine, some of them still keep educating themselves by pursuing Master’s or Doctoral Degrees!  are you feeling surprised by these facts? Would you keep studying if you were a Celebrity?

Also, it’s true that some celebrities like Kim Kardashian only aspire to obtain a High School Diploma, but it’s always nice to learn about good models to follow like Shaquille O’neal or James Franco.
