What will Mrs. Obama do when her husband stops being president?
In just 247 days, First Lady Michelle Obama will leave her position as the mistress of the White House. Over the past seven years, she has proven herself to be a friendly, intelligent and very successful first lady.
It is likely that even after leaving the White House, the image of Mrs. Obama will remain an indelible symbol. Mrs. Michelle Obama has not said much about what she wants to do starting in 2017.
However, Yahoo.com has just presented 5 scenarios that those who love Mrs. Obama wish to see after she leaves the White House.
1. She will set up a business with all female employees.

Michelle Obama is a trained lawyer, and worked for four years at the prestigious firm Sidney Austin (where she was tasked with mentoring Barack Obama before he became president).
She’s also been a big supporter of women professionals—as of 2014, her staff was predominantly female. And starting a firm is just the first step. There’s talk of a Supreme Court nomination for Barack—and Michelle, a Harvard Law School graduate, could be a strong candidate.
2. She will host a TV show called “The Michelle Show”

It's true that Michelle was born to be on television. Her own show, in the dreams of her fans, would feature political/cultural commentator Melissa Harris-Perry, in-depth interviews with Barbara Walters, and commentary from Michelle herself.
3. Becoming the first black female president of a university with a tradition of white male presidents

Based on Michelle's educational background, becoming the first black female president of a university in history is not a far-fetched idea.
Today, only 26% of college and university presidents in the US are women, and the ethnic diversity among university presidents has decreased since 2012. But 20 years ago, Michelle was associate dean of student services at the University of Chicago, before working at the university hospital.
One of Michelle's four areas of work is promoting higher education through the Reach Higher initiative, and she is expected to be able to solve many current problems at higher education institutions, such as soaring tuition fees and sexual assault on campus.
4. She will write a very honest memoir that many people will want to read.

According to biographer Peter Slevin, Michelle is currently writing a memoir, but it is unclear what period of her life the book will focus on.
In a speech at Tuskegee University last year, she described the questions she faced as the first African-American first lady: “Am I too outspoken, too angry, or too weak? Am I too soft, too maternal, and not career woman enough?”
5. She will start a non-profit organization and change the world.

This prediction may be the most realistic, given the hints she's made. Nonprofit work is also a typical move for many former presidents and their wives—and Michelle has been involved in it. She's the founding executive director of Public Allies in Chicago.
She has said she has never been happier than building a nonprofit from the ground up. And after eight years in the spotlight, it seems like a great choice for her, both to fight inequality and to continue being a fashion icon.
