The best part is that he submitted Schindler's List for the final exam!!

I found this quote funny:

Spielberg began work on his degree back in 1965, when he enrolled at Long Beach after being turned down by other film programs (notably USC's). He dropped out in 1969 to begin his career as a really rich and powerful person.

Hehe.

I think thats just awesome! Good for him.

From Yahoo,

Most of Spielberg's old professors were dead or retired by the time he returned to classes, and ironically he ended up working with younger professors, some of whom who actually learned their craft by studying his works

Didn't he get rejected more than once from USC, then when he started making big movies he ended up donating money to their cinematography division? If I were him I'd still try to apply and then see what their answer is.

Maybe he'll finally be able to get himself a decent job.
(If I were him, I wouldn't donate anything to the school that rejected me.)

 

[Matt Pasant]

(start sarcasm)I bet this will help his earning potential too. Studies show that a college graduate does tend to make more money ... (end sarcasm)

Yea tell that to Bill Gates.

Who knows - Bill Gates might be a trillionaire if he had graduated!

I don't know a single successful person who didn't graduate...

... from Kindergarten.
