How to Become a High- Profile Personal Assistant. In “The Assistant Economy,” Dissent Magazine analyzes the privileged and idiosyncratic career path of “personal assistants” who serve a single high- profile professional, often in a creative field, in a job that often provides no direct promotion opportunities (a movie director can’t train you to replace them) but plenty of indirect ones.
