Like Michael Jordan, Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson was an athlete who was approached by universities for a sporting scholarship and may have surprised the university with the decisions he made about majors. Johnson is the proud holder of degrees in both criminology and physiology. He doesn't just understand why criminals do what they do, he also knows the most effective way to beat them up.
We wonder if that knowledge came in handy in the world of professional wrestling? Johnson comes from a long family line of professional wrestlers, and when he signed with WWE shortly after graduation, he seemed to be fulfilling his destiny. He'd considered trying out for the NFL - it was his football skills that attracted the University of Miami to him - but an injury put paid to that dream. What nobody could have predicted, however, was that he'd go on to become the biggest grossing movie star in the world.
