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.

The main thing that struck me is how much better she looks with her mouth shut.
To: glennaro
It's amazing how well she's done considering the continuing behavior of her parents Are you kidding? She is where she is because of her parents.

He, Alll.....they are not really hiring Chelsea...they are paying "protection" money to her parents.....it's sad, isn't it, especially since it seems she will follow in her parents BS footsteps....well, at least she hasn't YET become a lawyer. Just what, however, did she GET her degree(s) in....does anyone know?

Chelsea spent enough time on campus at Oxford to earn a degree? Or do they grant "distance degrees" for "remote studies" like Stanford?
And a six-figure salary to boot. Does she have to phone in the job, or is the occasional photo op sufficient?
To: Dont Mention the War
I want to know what this woman did to earn that kind of salary.
Oy, I forgot, she's a Clinton.
Be Seeing You,
Chris

I can't think of a single company I know of...that would pay a 23 year old $100k a year unless they were computer engineers...which she is not. But on the other side of the coin...we can look at past presidents from both sides of politics and their kids got similiar deals.

A new phrase--"Hubble-ugly."
To: Dr. Luv
Let's determine if we find anyone else this unattractive & unappealing & just out of instituions of lower learning receiving $1000,000 salaries. So I will be her worst critic. Let's not forget her trashing of America when she was with her mother in Africa. Who her parents are is a determinate.

Wow. Some of you guys really don't know the job market. $100,000.00 for a starting job at McKinsey is pretty standard, particularly in the New York market. Starting lawyers in New York, who are generally 27-30 years of age, routinely receive salaries of up to $130,000.00 from the larger firms, and have for several years now. Listen, I despise the Klintons as much as the next fellow, but it's the free market.
To: Dr. Luv
Oh for goodness sakes, let's criticise her for her conduct - not for her appearance or who she happens to be related to... No, I want to work the appearance thing in there, too.
As the old saying goes . . . if my dog were that ugly, I'd shave his butt and make him walk backwards.
Damn, she's ugly.

Good luck.
As a 20-year veteran of the corporate world, many management consultants are very young and have little or no experience.
$100,000 a year for starting at McKinsey is actually quite low. Then again, her degree normally would not meet their qualifications (you need an MBA or Doctorate). This firm, which once was considered far and away the most prestigious in the world, has slipped back to the pack even before this hire -- see the recent article in the Economist.
At least her mother had a law degree and experience when she was bumped to partner. Chelsea has neither the right degree nor any experience. It is a very foolish hire for McKinsey, IMHO -- this will not impress the CEOs out there who are paying fortunes for advice.
To: Eaker
I think you have Chelsea confused with the Bush twins.
To: hattend
Just another way of funneling money to the Clinton's.

I think it is wonderful that Ms. Clinton is going to be making so much money. Now she can pay for her own bodyguards and let the Secret Service go on to protect someone worthwhile.
