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 finane

If I was paying big money for a consultant I would hope the consulting firm would send me somebody other than a recent college graduate with no work experience.

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.
