If you had to be a celebrity's personal assistant, what celebrity would it be?

Question

Why?

I would choose...
Hmmm...
I think I would choose someone from a band I like, then I could see what it's like to tour and all that.
And I'd be with my heroes all day!
I just don't know what band I'd choose.
:]

Answer 1

Answer 2

Are you sure you want to? = ) Do you like to be called up at 5am to be told there are 5 eggs in the refrig tray instead of 6 and to get right over to fix that? Can you tolerate an (oscar winning) adult whining over the way a sandwich is made? Or how about taking directions from a 6 yr old on what type of birthday party you have to arrange for her? It's not a glamorous job and the pay is not that good considering it really is a 24 hour a day job. And if you hope to get into the business, it's about the worst way possible. Sure, you'll meet people, but these jobs generally end badly and it's very hard for someone uppity to see an assistant as anything other than. I know lots of entertainment people with assistants and honestly, I can't tell you one assistant who has gone on to make it in Hollywood -- unless they would have likely made it anyway due to their excellent (ivy league) education. The job has hurt rather than helped and usually they get sick of the whole scene and want to get out of Hollywood. Many assistants and others who work for celebrities are out for something other than just doing a good job. They think they'll become part of the family (even more important!) and actually expect that they'll be bought a home, car, and that the employer will get their child into a top private school, where the employers' kids go, and pay the $30,000 a year tuition. Literally. That's a big part of the reason things end badly, many people who are willing to take these (bad!) jobs are not of the highest character. (Sure there are those stories about where assistants were treated generously, but those are unusual, and the real story isn't usually printed.) Because of some things in recent years, there will be very serious contracts that need to be signed, and stiff penalties enforced for breach of contract, such as talking about the employer. So anyway, just trying to open your eyes. Sorry! = ) Google entertainment jobs, look in craigslist. If you live in LA, network, talk to people. Get a job at a production company so you can meet people. Work where celebrities go and be appropriately chatty. Most of the employers I know hired from word of mouth rather than running ads. People already in the circle. I know several au pairs who became assistants, which was their plan, they were well educated and came over as au pairs as a stepping stone. All that said, my teen son will be an assistant's assistant part time this summer. It's for a relative in the industry, so my son won't get too much crap (or else) and the asst he'll work with will watch over him. I figure he'll see why he wants to get a great education, so he has career choices, and it will look good on his university applications.
