Workaday Bluez
New York Magazine's Intelligencer column stuns with Chelsea Clinton: Working Girl. No, not that kind of "Working Girl":
For most college grads, this is the toughest job market in years, but Chelsea Clinton, who doesn’t finish up at Oxford until the spring, has already lined up a gig. Sources tell us that the former First Daughter has been offered a position with McKinsey, the powerhouse consulting firm. "I know she had an interview and got a good offer," one Chelsea pal tells us. (Neither McKinsey nor Clinton returned calls by press time.) Sources say her starting salary is probably about $65,000.
Regardless of what one thinks of professional consultants, can you think of any subject on which you would pay for Ms. Clinton's advice? On the other hand, if this is like her higher education, she is probably going to phone it in. And she cleaned up real nice.
