CHELSEA CLINTON is the envy of this years graduate trainees after being offered a $100,000 (£64,500)-a-year job with McKinsey, the New York management consultancy. Sources close to McKinsey confirmed that the daughter of Bill Clinton, the former President, had been offered an entry level position as a business analyst but had not yet accepted the job.
Miss Clinton received similar job offers from McKinsey and Boston Group, another management consultancy firm, and appears to have negotiated a salary far above other graduates.
McKinsey is believed to have made an initial offer of $60,000 a year.
Company sources said: To hear people talk in McKinsey, you would think Chelsea was arriving tomorrow. But what is certain is that she has been offered the job and has expressed great interest but has not yet formally accepted it.
A company spokesman would say only: Every applicant is treated with the same degree of confidentiality by McKinsey and company.
Miss Clinton, who is 23 next week and will leave University College, Oxford, in the spring after completing a postgraduate course in international relations, wants to train as a business consultant specialising in the healthcare sector.
Her interest was fostered during a summer holiday job last year when she worked at the World Health Organisation in Geneva.

Those of you, like me, who are presently unemployed, probably will want to howl with rage as much as I do.
Regards, Ivan

They must mean a government consultant specialising in HillaryCare.

Gee, I wish that someone would offer me $100,000 for an "entry level" position, even though it is not in my field and I haven't graduated college yet.

Not bad for a flighty young woman who hardly seemed to go to classes, but was no slouch when it came to sampling the rich and varied nightlife in London eh ? But I'm sure that there's NO favoritism or special favors in play here...oh no...the Clinton's are "regular folk", just like you and me !

$100,000 job huh?
Her dad ended up on the receiving end of a much more expensive one as I recall.

And just what the hell does she know or understand about healthcare??? With an "international relations" degree??
And sniffing her nose at a $60K to start as a new grad?
She is an insult, not only to those of us in the human race, but to healthcare workers worldwide.

Didn't you know? All a Clinton woman has to do is claim to know more than anyone else about healthcare and people are prepared to turn over their lives to them.

Three cheers for Chelsea! Perhaps someday, she will become president just like Mummy and Daddy. We can only hope.
Possible Scenario: Chelsea becomes President of the U.S., Daddy is Secretary General of the U.N. and Mummy is Chelsea's Secretary of State.
The thought of it kinda warms your heart, eh?

"Whatever McKinsey sells, I'm not buying." McKinsey sells ego-gratification to CEO's (oh, and the occassional "political access" tidbit).
It's almost always good when your competition hires them (or Accenture, or a variety of other such "consulting" firms), as it usually means that you will have no trouble outperforming them in the forseeable future (one major exception, of course, revolves around how they secure political favors in and out of the U.S., however).
