While a student at California State University at Long Beach, Spielberg got a job as an unpaid intern in the editing department of Universal Studios. The 24-minute film he made impressed execs enough to hire him, leading Spielberg to leave school. At age 55, the mega-hit director completed term papers and general education courses through independent study to complete his bachelor’s degree in the arts. Cal State – Long Beach waived the requirement that seniors submit a polished 12-minute film, saying that “Schindler’s List”’ would do.
