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.

I'll tell you what is evil and contemptuous: little Miss Chelsea using a national tragedy, such as September 11, as fodder for an article against the Bush Tax Cut.

Not to mention her loathing of the military.

Her hair's strung out and her dress is see-through/clingy. But her makeup is holding out!

No teasing allowed against the "promised one" on the right, it may cause flames to singe your head.

It is a very foolish hire for McKinsey, IMHO -- this will not impress the CEOs out there who are paying fortunes for advice. It sure doesn't hurt McKinsey to have a US Senator's daughter on the payroll. And $100,000 is pretty standard starting salary for McKinsey; I interviewed out of undergrad and could have made $75K, before I decided slave labor wasn't my calling.
To: Princeliberty
Who does this firm work for? They do management consulting work for corporations with deep pockets and big problems. Find a Fortune 500 company whose stock has had a precipitous decline, and chances are good McKinsey was called in to "restructure" the business.

She STILL looks more like a HUBBELL than a CLINTON
Yes, I think she was Hubbell's child and I think both Hillary and Bill knew it and that's why Hillary gave Bill a pass on all his extra-curicular activities. But I do not blame Chelsea one iota for taking this job. But, for the grace of God, she could have been anyones child. She was not responsible for her parents behaviour. And, to whom ever wonder what happened to her political ambitions, I think this job is purely political.

Thanks for the heads up! You may find it interesting that Susan Rice went to McKinsey and Company as a consultant right out of college:
11/20/98 Executive Intelligence Review
Susan Rice, Assistant Secretary of State for African Affairs, is reported to have won her post at the U.S. State Department through strong pressure from Roger Winter, executive director of the U.S. Committee on Refugees, who pushed for her candidacy over the appointment of Howard Wolpe, now U.S. Special Envoy to the Great Lakes region, who was also a contender for the post. Her other known patron is Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, who has been a life-long friend of Rice and her family, as Albright is quoted in the Washington Post of March 30. She also comes to the administration with the vetting of the neo-colonial apparatus in the British Commonwealth, which is the source of the policies Rice is carrying out. A Rhodes Scholar, she received her masters and doctorate degrees in International Relations at New College, Oxford University. In 1992, she was the recipient of the first annual award given by the Royal Institute of International Affairs and the British International Studies Association for the "most distinguished dissertation in the United Kingdom in the field of International Relations." Her topic was "The Commonwealth Initiative in Zimbabwe, 1979-80: Implications for International Peacekeeping." In 1990, she had also been awarded the Royal Commonwealth Society's Walter Frewen Lord Prize for "outstanding research in the field of Commonwealth History." Her first job was a management consultant in Toronto, for McKinsey and Company. Her next posting was at the U.S. National Security Council, as director for International Organizations and Peacekeeping in February 1993, and then as Special Assistant to the President and as Senior Director for African Affairs, from March 1995 until May 1997, when she was appointed by President Clinton as Assistant Secretary
.
You may recognize her from these:
9/21/98 NY Times
In May 1996, at the request of the United States and Saudi Arabia, Sudan expelled bin Laden, who moved to Afghanistan. Sudanese officials also say that they sent 100 of his operatives and their dependents to Afghanistan as well. But U.S. officials were convinced that the Sudanese were insincere. "With the exception of the expulsion of Osama bin Laden, which was not followed by any steps to get rid of his financial network, they have not done anything serious," Ms. Rice said.
.In February 1997, Sudanese President Oman al-Bashir sent President Clinton a personal letter. It offered, among other things, to allow U.S. intelligence, law-enforcement and counterterrorism personnel to enter Sudan and to go anywhere and see anything, to help stamp out terrorism. The United States never replied to that letter; the isolaters derided it as a meaningless "charm offensive" by Sudan, in Ms. Rice's words. A senior Sudanese official made a similar offer directly to the F.B.I. six months ago -- send a counter-terrorism team to Sudan, and we will help in any way we can, it said. The F.B.I. wrote back more than four months later, in June, declining the opportunity
.
..Madeleine Albright, the U.S. secretary of state, has refused to appear before a United Nations-mandated independent inquiry probing why the world body failed to prevent the genocide in Rwanda in 1994, the National Post has learned. Ms. Albright was the U.S. ambassador to the UN at the time of the genocide and can provide key information about high-level decisions that led the U.S. to call on the UN Security Council to dramatically reduce the number of UN peacekeepers in Rwanda shortly after the killing began in earnest in April.
.. However, she and members of her senior staff, including Susan Rice, U.S. assistant secretary of state for Africa both at the time of the genocide and now, have declined invitations from Ingvar Carlsson, a former Swedish prime minister who is chairing the inquiry, to meet with him and his two fellow panelists when they visit Washington this week

The ties that all come together like connect the dots that most folks are clueless to. It is sneaky scary shame.
