Even as a high school student in 2014 and 2015, Malia Obama spent time working in television studios in New York and Los Angeles (she even worked as an intern for the HBO show Girls in 2015). Though she spent the summer of 2016 working as an intern in the U.S. Embassy in Madrid, Spain, it does not appear as though she has any desire to follow in her father’s political footsteps (per The New York Times).
At a Klick Health Muse event in New York in 2018, Obama brushed off a reporter who asked her about her intention to become a future president of the United States. “There’s some bright young people out there doing amazing things,” Obama said. “I think it’s a better investment to invest in creating thousands of me’s because we don’t need just one,” (per Town & Country). Obama has proven that she is far more interested in the entertainment industry, having also worked as an intern for The Weinstein Company in 2017 and a production assistant on CBS drama Extant, starring Halle Berry (per The Hollywood Reporter). While it is unclear what Obama’s major is while she attends Harvard University, she is set to graduate from the university soon as part of the class of 2021 (via E!).
Despite their career differences, it’s likely that Malia will still find a way to influence a generation of thinkers, just as her father did. (Just a hunch.)
