This is too cool...LOL.
Malia Obama has entered the working world, and, predictably, she's not bussing tables or folding clothes at Forever 21. According to The Wrap, the 15-year-old First Daughter was spotted working as a production assistant on CBS's forthcoming sci-fi series Extant, produced by prominent Obama donor Steven Spielberg. The show stars Halle Berry as an astronaut returning from a year alone in space, whose experiences somehow "change the course of human history." A source close to the production said that Malia "helped with computer shop alignments and the director also let her slate a take." Meanwhile, Sasha Obama continues to freeload off her parents.

I worked as a PA for years (before moving into the camera dept) and know there is no correct path into the "biz" and any boost up or break you can get, you take it.
I hope she appreciates the break and uses it wisely.
