Ang matagumpay na Babaeng Bumagsak Ngunit Naging Malaki
Ang pag-drop sa labas ng high school ay hindi isang matalinong pagpipilian, kahit na kung minsan ay kailangan dahil sa mga pangyayari. Ang karamihan ng mga mag-aaral na nag-drop out ay hindi naging mayaman o sikat, at sa istatistika ay hindi malamang na gawin ito masyadong malayo sa mundo ng negosyo.
Gayunpaman, may mga matagumpay na kababaihan na bumagsak sa mataas na paaralan at ginawa itong malaki nang walang edukasyon. Ngunit, tulad ng ipinakita ng listahan, karamihan sa mga babaeng ito ay ginawa ito sa talento sa industriya ng aliwan at hindi sa tradisyunal na mundo ng negosyo.
Ang ilan sa mga kababaihang nasa listahan sa ibaba ay bumalik sa paaralan o nakakuha ng GED, inilunsad ng iba ang kanilang mga karera.
