Famed director Wong Kar-wai recently accepted an honorary degree from Hong Kong's Open University.  In his remarks at the ceremony,  Wong admitted that he had dropped out of Hong Kong's Polytechnic University as a 2nd year student and never went back to finish his degree. 

Instead he chose to go to a directors course held by Hong Kong's TVB.  Looking back on his decision,  which has allowed him to become one of the most respected Hong Kong directors in the world, Wong doesn't regret his decision.  He is quoted as telling graduates, "Degrees are one thing.
