Who needs a college degree when fame and fortune awaits?

Since their first appearance on Keeping Up With the Kardashians in 2007, Kendall and Kylie Jenner have become stars in their own right, thanks to lucrative modeling campaigns and a thriving teen fashion empire.

When Us Weekly spoke to their father Bruce Jenner at the Performance 3D demonstration in NYC Monday, the 62-year-old Olympian admitted his girls' careers are so busy they may not pursue higher education.

"If they want to go to college, certainly, I think it's a good idea. But I'm not the advocate of, 'You've got to go to college!'" Bruce said. "I think by the time they graduate from high school, they will probably be in a position to go right to working."

Like their older sisters Kourtney, 32, Kim, 31, and Khloe, 27, Kendall and Kylie are becoming branded businesswomen, Bruce explained. "They've just developing their clothing line for Sears -- it's a little more teen-oriented, the clothing line. And they're working all the time on the show."

With two magazine covers under her belt (American Cheerleader and Teen Prom), Kendall, 16, is poised to become the next big supermodel, Bruce added.

"She'll probably have a career by the time she's out of high school," Bruce told Us. "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."

    Hey if they cam make money off of making sex tapes and acting like trash I guess Daddy Bruce is all on board. When their desirability dwindles they'll have Daddy Bruce to help them out. What do you expect when the mother pushes her daughters to get naked for money. They are all about attention and money and they do NOT care what they do to get it.

    These girls ARE beautiful. I can't believe anyone would say otherwise about teenagers. Kourtney went to college. What did that get her? I believe Kim has more fame and money than Kourtney and I don't think Kim went to college. Let a student who really needs that spot have it.

    This is why those girls are going to turn out JUST like their trashy sisters. I thought bruce had more sense than that. This is why America is such a sh*thole, no one values education anymore.

    Cathy O'toole, you must be jealous or blind, if you don't think these girls are beautiful. You don't have to be a fan to respect their hustle.

    All of the Kardashians are beautiful. To say any different makes you look insecure. As far as college goes, it will always be there for them. Maybe they should strike while the iron's hot with their budding careers.

    Beauty is in the eye of the fashion world...there are def some super models out there I don't see as beautiful but r making millions. They should take some business classes at least...just want to do something different...

  • January 25, 2012 - 5:28pm Cathy O'toole

    hahaha - like ANY of them could be real models! you'd have to be beautiful - which none of them are!
