College Attended: Temple University

Studied: Secondary Education

Jill Scott went to Temple University not far from where she grew up in North Philadelphia. The chanteuse worked two jobs while studying secondary education, but with a single year left until graduation, and a stint as a teacher's aide, she decided to quit school altogether. Scott was on a mission, working towards her big break in music, which didn't come until the year 2000. Even though she moved beyond her dream of being a high school English teacher, her love for putting melodies in poetry isn't lost on her fans, who hang onto her every word.
