How Steven Spielberg became a Legend and Created Masterpieces

27. Spielberg’s First Hollywood Job Was an Unpaid Internship

While a student at California State University in Long Beach, he worked an unpaid internship at Universal Studios. While there, he had the opportunity to write and produce a half-hour film called Amblin’, a 1960s love story about two hippies who met in the desert. It won multiple awards at the studio and gained the attention of Universal’s vice president, Sidney Sheinberg.
