Many schools now offer online accredited degrees . I’m really tempted to pursue Masterals in Education specializing on Early Childhood Education. Just to prove how popular online education is, here are some famous faces who attended schools with online degree programs. And if it’s good enough for the rich and famous, it’s good enough for me.
- Dolph Lundgren: Hard to believe, but totally true: Dolph Lundgren, Ivan Drago himself, has a master’s degree. He graduated from Sweden’s Royal Institute of Technology before heading to Australia and picking up a master’s in chemical engineering from the University of Sydney. All this while also studying a growing number of martial arts. He was even awarded a Fulbright Scholarship to MIT but left to start his acting career. I’m now kind of scared of his combination of brains and brawn.
- Rowan Atkinson: Rowan Atkinson, star of British comedies like “Blackadder” and “Mr. Bean,” is famous for playing idiots. But in real life, he’s anything but stupid. He attended Newcastle University and studied electrical engineering, then got a master’s degree in the subject at Oxford. It takes a smart guy to look that dumb.
- Sigourney Weaver: Although she would later be immortalized in the Alien franchise as well as a host of other roles — not to mention the Gatekeeper — Sigourney Weaver started her professional life with a graduate degree. After studying English at Stanford, she earned a master of fine arts from Yale University’s School of Drama.
No matter what else we want to do, an education is something we can’t live without.
