It's never too late to go back to school, and the same goes for billionaire's like Bill Gates. Bill Gates might not have to go back to take classes, but he will finally receive his degree. As many know, Gates dropped out of Harvard in 1973 during his junior year to run with a dream and create Microsoft with his pals Paul Allen and Steve Ballmer.
Bill Gates will be speaking at a Harvard commencement ceremony on June 7th, and will receive an honorary degree that day. It's not yet known what the degree will be for as Harvard likes to surprise its honorary degree recipients, and will not divulge any information in advance.
I wonder if Bill has saved a little special space on his office wall for this? However, it will only be there for the next year or so, as Gates plans on leaving Microsoft to devote himself to the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation full time.

A drop-out finishing his studies is encouraging. His chances of earning a decent living will improve exponentially.
