Celebrities, direct movies, star on television shows, write books, play sports and run giant corporations, so they are left with very little time to make dinner reservations, shop for birthday gifts, pick up the dry cleaning, and answer the telephone. That's where a personal assistant comes in. It's a great job for people who want a glimpse at how the truly fabulous live. It's also a great way to break into glamour professions because of the many of the contacts you make — not the dry cleaner, necessarily, but many of the others — will be invaluable.
