Kendall & Kylie Jenner Might Skip College, Says Dad Bruce (VIDEO)

First Posted: 01/25/2012 1:51 pm Updated: 01/25/2012 2:34 pm

Higher Education has never been a priority for the Kardashian family -- only Kourtney and Rob attended college, while mom Kris Jenner admitted in her memoir that "school wasn't her thing" explaining she had no desire to pursue a college degree.

So it comes as no shock that family patriarch, Bruce Jenner told Us Weekly, that the youngest of the Kardashian-Jenner clan, Kendall and Kylie, might skip out on the college experience.

At an event in New York on Monday, Jenner admitted the his teenage daughters' busy careers will likely come first: "If they want to go to college, certainly, I think it's a good idea," he admitted, " But I'm not the advocate of, 'You've got to go to college.' I think by the time they graduate from high school, they will probably be in a position to go right to working."

Kendall, 16 and Kylie, 14 are both poised to be the next big stars according to many, with burgeoning modeling careers, rumors of their own show in development, and they'll join their sisters as branded businesswomen with the teen-oriented clothing line they're developing for Sears.

Both girls have walked in New York Fashion week and Bruce believes that Kendall's modeling career is going to keep her very busy.

"She'll probably have a career by the time she's out of high school," he said. "If that's what she wants to do, that's good. I don't know if college is going to be that important for her."

Bruce attended Graceland University and his son Brody dropped out of his classes at CU Boulder. He told College Candy, he just didn't like it because of the core curriculum's mandatory classes.

"It was all the English and the History, things in American culture that I didn't give two sh*ts about," he said. "All that was gonna do was just waste my time until I was 21-years-old and I had no clue what to do with my life and I would've left college and been like, 'Hmm, now I learned all these things about American culture and stuff, how am I going to relate this to my life?'"

Of course, it's not uncommon for teenage celebrities to forgo higher education in favor of pursuing their careers. Even those who do decide to attend college often don't end up graduating.

Most recently, actress Emma Roberts decided to take a break from her studies at Sarah Lawrence after just one semester, while billionaire twins Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen both eventually dropped out of New York University.

Their younger sister Elizabeth, however, is two classes away from her degree at NYU's Tisch School of the Arts. The 22-year-old actress took last year off to make an impressive five movies, but spent this past fall juggling classes while enrolled at school full time and promoting her breakout film "Martha Marcy May Marlene."

Let me say..that it has been repeated in history..that a turn of events in many ways..in war, politics ,change in economy..etc etc..the very rich have had to eat dirt..and wash toilets...so maybe it is best to get some sort of education in case..the easy money just goes overnight..communism has taken the filthy rich and turned them into beggars....this country suffered a market crash that had many jumping out windows.

HP, please refrain from creating articles for these girls; they are just as useless as their other sisters. No one needs to know what they are doing.

Go to college and Charm School while your at it. Your family legacy isn't going to last forever. At some point in time you will actually need a "real" job.

No they won't. Those girls are financially set for life.

College isn't only about making money but learning about the world, culture, history etc...

What would be the point of them going to college? Think they can't count money, yet?
Most people do so for the better employment opportunities. They will never find a better employer/ manager for them other than Mom and Dad. A college degree has ZERO benefits for them.
Daddy even said so! ....

LOL.......Thanks for the laugh.
I had totally forgot about the ones in training. That means about twenty more years of Jenners and Kardashians.....Suicide is an option, in this case.....

They probably figured most people go to college to earn a better living make more money, in this case the girls are already making more than the average college grad thus no need for college li Not good for him to say it out loud though now you will have younger kids thinking well heck they are rich and making money and didn't go to college. The thing they are forgetting is there last name is not Kardasian and most of us had to go to college, how in the heck did Mama K get the last two to profit by the Kardashian name they are Jenners, Mama Kis one heck of a business woman ,you think she is tough now she would have been beastly if she had gone to college.

There is nothing inherently magical about college and it isn't a good fit for everyone. Both are already apparently entering the adult world and learning to earn a living. Since it is unlikely either will wind up on the welfare line, I don't see the issue here.

Who cares. More room for people who really want to learn to earn instead of inherit. Those these two could benefit from some learning...
