NEW YORK (AP) -- Chelsea Clinton will start a six-figure consulting job after she receives a master's degree from Oxford University later this year, Newsweek magazine reports on its Web site.

The daughter of former President Clinton will work in the New York office of London-based McKinsey & Company, newsweek.com reported Friday.

Clinton, 23, accepted the position Friday after she reportedly turned down McKinsey's offer of $100,000 a year to work at its London headquarters, according to the Web site.

A spokesman for McKinsey did not immediately return a call for comment Saturday, nor did Bill Clinton's office.

Clinton, who is studying international relations at Oxford, will be one of 5,000 McKinsey consultants worldwide who research topics ranging from health care to corporate finance.

Chelsea's new job is high-power

[egarvue]

Can anyone tell me how this kid managed to get a bachelor's degree, and subsequent masters, all the while gallavanting around the world with her parents?

[Disgusted in Texas]

Good question! How did she ???

[txzman]

Even more ridiculous is this:

Can anyone tell me how McKinsey can justify paying this 23 year old $100,000 for her "skills".

I have worked with many of these young comsultants before - they essentially learn from their customers, chew on what they learn and spit it back out in glorigified Powepoint grids and scales.

McKinsey knows EXACTLY what it bought - access to Dad and Mom.

[CarmelValleyite]

I dunno about any high powered job, but just read some headline in the Enquirer about Chelsea and a "pregnancy nightmare." THAT seems more like it, to me....

[afraidfortherepublic]

Oh, barf. This still-wet-behind-the-ears kid has never worked a day in her life. The biggest thing she has ever done is to break up the most recent Palestinian-Israeli peace conference -- both sides were so insulted to have her sitting in that they went home early.

This is a sheer publicity stunt for the firm, or a bribe.

[EggsAckley]

Oh, a pregnancy wouldn't be a nightmare for Chelsea. She'd just get an abortion and forget about it.


Hey...CarmelValleyite.........I'm an "Aptician" (Aptos)
</;o)

[Cindy]

Only in America...

[anniegetyourgun]

It's both. Let's face it, if we were CEOs and this outfit sent Chelsea over to our office to 'consult', we'd both send her back and request someone else with a brain and some experience.

[CarmelValleyite]

Yeah, she must be a genius to have gotten that degree while on the road non-stop with mom and dad. And since then, she is constantly caught on camera out on the town or taking in fashion shows with her good buddy, Gwyneth Paltrow (UGH).

Just what IS her area of expertise, anyway? HAHAHAHAHA

[I_Love_My_Husband]

Can someone post her grades? I would love to know what her grades were as she's never at school.

[Blue Highway]

I believe this is how

[O.C. - Old Cracker]

She has learned well from her old man and old lady how to screw her fellow man and rape the system. Bill and Hill should be proud.

[SamAdams76]

One certainly does wonder what kind of "consulting" can be done by a sheltered 23-year-old girl. I say follow the money. Obviously the six-figure salary is a way for whoever is paying it to buy access to, or curry favor with, the parents.

Researching:

found this:

30 May 2001
who: Chelsea Clinton
what: Offered place at University College
where: Oxford
when: This year
snippet: The course on offer is a two-year MPhil course in international relations, reports The Times. "She will hope to secure her father's old room, one of the most sought-after spots in the college."

$100k to start, no experience necessary. Apply within.

[farmguy]

Not dad, he's yesterday's news (unless the un makes him king of the world).

This looks like the bribing of the junior senator from new york.

[b4its2late]

McKinsey & Company must either need to pi$$ away some money, is anticipating a political favor from NYs junior senator, or is maybe paying one back already received.

I guess those expected offers in the 250K range from long time NY liberal pals just didn't pan out.

Sadly, she's still in the low income range as compared to some hollyweird and entertainment types her age. I guess you have to work with whatever Satan gave you - in her case, Bill and Hill.
