Yup, Bill Gates is finally getting his Harvard degree! Remember that he failed to get one after he dropped out of Harvard to focus on Microsoft. Now Harvard is giving him an honorary law degree.
Bill Gates gets Harvard degree, not at all smug about it
Little Bill is all growed up now, and has finally made his father proud. “I’ve been waiting for more than 30 years to say this: Dad, I always told you I’d come back and get my degree,” said Gates, who received a law degree on Thursday from Harvard after giving a commencement address to the students, the school he dropped out of to focus on Microsoft. “We recognize the most illustrious member of the Harvard College class of 1977 never to have graduated from Harvard,” said Harvard University Provost Steven Hymen, who didn’t seem too humbled to present the honorary degree. “It seems high time that his alma mater hand over the diploma.” Bill Gates seemed more concerned with padding his resume, however, considering the fact that he’s calling it quits at Microsoft soon. “I’ll be changing my job next year, and it will be nice to finally have a college degree on my resume.” Oh, we’re sure he’ll get by alright.
Really, Bill Gates deserve this degree. Congratulations!
