Facebook co-founder, Mark Zuckerberg, one of Havard’s most
famous dropouts has finally returned to pick up his degree twelve years after
leaving Harvard to work on Facebook full-time.
Zuckerberg founded ‘Facebook’ in his college dormitory in
the year 2004 and dropped out in November 2005. “I’m not coming back” he told
the university paper, The Crimson.
His honorary degree comes 12 years later, a little quicker
than it took Bill Gates, another famous Harvard dropout to get his.
Gates, who left to found Microsoft in 1975, did not receive
his honorary degree until 2007. However, Facebook CEO who dropped out to focus
on the social networking site, picked up an honorary doctorate degree Thursday.
After receiving the degree, he posted a picture of himself
with his parents Edward and Karen Zuckerberg and updated his degree status on
Facebook ‘mom I always told you I’d come back and get my degree.’
