5 Celebrities That Prove It's Never Too Late to Get a College Education
The phases in our lives are usually dictated by societal standards. We go to school at a certain age and graduate and get a job after. But not everyone gets to follow this timeline, and that's totally okay and normal.
Some celebrities, too, complete their college degrees way past their early twenties, but it doesn't mean they are any less hardworking or academically capable than others. Below, we round up stars that prove it's never too late to get a college degree and that you get to follow your own timeline for success:Â
Juancho Triviño
Kapuso star Juancho Triviño graduated from De La Salle University in 2020 after starting in 2009. "I stopped mid way to pursue my acting career, a couple of years after I decided to go back," he shares in an Instagram post. "I became a working student going to class with no sleep and drinking vendo coffee to keep me awake and balance my sheets (accounting reference). Nagkakaroon din ng mga pagkakataon na galing Pangasinan dederetso ako sa school galing Unang Hirit, at kung late na late na, nag a-Ankas ako." He finished his Entrepreneurship degree at 27.Â
