This firm chews up new hires and spits them out. You have to have a tremendous work ethic just to survive.

This kid has been handed everything on a silver platter from day one. Her bachelor's degree had to have been gained via special treatment, because she did not spend enough time on campus to get an honest degree from Stanford the old-fashioned way (working for it). She likely got "course credit" for gallivanting about on all those foreign trips with her mom and dad.

While she was allegedly studying at Oxford, she spent a good deal of time in Paris and other exotic locales with her gentleman friend instead of working with her tutor and preparing for exams. I have not heard that she has sat for her finals, let alone passed them. She will probably leave Oxford without a degree, just like her dear old dad, because Oxford apparently still has higher standards than Stanford.

But the buck stops here. I doubt that McKinsey will let her just be a figurehead, it would generate way too much resentment among other workaholic employees (and even middle management). Look for her to "move on to other opportunities soon."

Sorry if I sound bitter, but I worked hard for my degrees, and it cheapens all those involved when a degree is sold for money, power, or fame.

She will move on long before then. She is a Kennedy....er...Clinton......er...Hubble...and perhaps in the end a Rodham.

If anyone, from her parents to her new patrons at McKinsey, actually cared about Chelsea, they would not hand her everyting on a silver platter. It builds character to earn one's accomplishments in life, and most people who get things without working for them are hurt, if not ruined by it.

McKinsey is using her for her connections and her celebrity, just as her parents used her as a prop (can you imagine being raised by those two?!).

I actually pity the girl. She hasn't got much of a chance of becoming a good, decent woman of integrity, and she will probably never even realize there is such a thing.
