Rachael Ray

The star chef barely received any formal cooking training, let alone a college degree. In her twenties, Ray bounced around food service jobs in New York City and Albany, where she began teaching classes on how to make meals in 30 minutes. Her class was so popular that a local television station approached her to do an on-air segment; the rest -- including her magazine, talk show and line of cooking products -- is history.

The founder of Standard Oil and renowned philanthropist dropped out of high school two months before graduation, opting to work as an assistant bookkeeper at a produce commission firm for 50 cents a day. At the time of his death, his personal wealth amounted to $1.5 billion.

The English music executive, television producer and barbed-tongue 'American Idol' judge didn't even finish the sixth-form (the British equivalent of the final years of high school). He instead worked odd jobs until his father -- an executive at EMI Music Publishing -- arranged a position for him in the recording company's mail room.

Abraham Lincoln

One of nine presidents who didn't go to college, Lincoln attended various schools in rural Kentucky and Illinois for short periods of time -- he once claimed that of all his schooling probably didn't amount to one year in total. He began to teach himself English grammar at age 23, and he said that he always regretted not receiving a more formal education.

Julie Andrews

She's received myriad awards -- including an Oscar, Grammy, Golden Globe and two Emmys -- but the celebrated actress certainly didn't start out on top. Andrews's parents, both actors, were very poor, and she was raised for a time a London slum. Though she went to high school, Andrews chose not to go to college, opting instead to pursue her singing career full-time.

Michael J. Fox

The Emmy Award-winning actor and Parkinson's Disease advocate struggled academically at Burnaby Central Secondary School in Canada and was too short to compete in his favorite activity, ice hockey. Drama was an outlet for him, and at age 15 he starred in the Canadian television series 'Leo and Me.' At 18, he dropped out of high school and moved to Los Angeles, where his career took off almost immediately.
