Michelle Obama Nagging Newly Graduated Daughter Sasha to Get a Job: 'She Needs to Get Out There'
June 25 2023, Published 5:00 a.m. ET
The ink is barely dry on Sasha Obama's diploma from the University of Southern California and mom Michelle Obama is already pestering the 22-year-old to get a job, RadarOnline.com has learned.
"She's telling Sasha she needs to get out there and start interviewing for positions," shared an insider. "She's heard a lot of her friends' kids had jobs in line even before they graduated."
Big sis Malia Obama, for example, has been laser-focused on making it in Hollywood. After her 2021 graduation from Harvard, the 24-year-old landed a writing gig on the Prime series Swarm and will make her directorial debut with a short film produced by Donald Glover.
Sasha, who received a sociology degree, is undecided about her future.
"She wants to take summer off to figure it out," spilled the insider. "But Michelle suspects what she wants to do is hang out with her friends and party, and she's not going to put up with that."
Sasha transferred to USC from the University of Michigan last year, making her closer to Malia, who moved to Los Angeles after graduating from Harvard in 2021.
Michelle, ex-President Barack Obama, and Malia were spotted in the audience at Sasha's May graduation ceremony.
The former first family was photographed sitting behind the cap-and-gown-clad students at Allyson Felix Field with more than a dozen U.S. Secret Service agents.
When Sasha's name was called to receive her diploma, the entire crowd erupted in applause and cheers. Michelle, Barack, and Malia expressed their excitement by screaming alongside Sasha's classmates to celebrate.
Eyewitnesses told the LA Times that the former commander-in-chief and his family kept a low profile when all was said and done. Barack and Michelle didn't take any photos with attendees, but the 44th president congratulated the parents and family members of graduates on the way out.

Unlike Malia, Sasha stayed out of the spotlight during her college years, at least for the most part. However, she did make headlines when it was revealed she was dating actor Clifton Powell's son, Clifton Powell Jr., in 2022.
