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.

Add another

UGLY

[Dont Mention the War]

The daughter of former President Clinton

Oh, stop lying AP.

It doesn't matter. I believe in karma. She'll get hers someday, somehow. That is, if God doesn't think a lifetime of being addressed as "Woof! Woof!" isn't enough.

[KC_Conspirator]

This company is paying for her last name since there are people out there who will willingly pay to listen to a Klinton, even though I would'nt hire her for anything.

[TaRaRaBoomDeAyGoreLostToday!]

She graduated from college in record time, aye?

[paws_and_whiskers]

We all expected her to start in an entry level position. < /
sarcasm >

[Galtoid]

Make-up is a little heavy, isn't it?
She looks like a Lady of the Night.

[Mr. K]

add another company to the list of those I wont support- what does this company do that it can affford to spend 100k on inexperienced college graduates.

[TaRaRaBoomDeAyGoreLostToday!]

Exactly.

McKinsey and Company

And BTW: What happened to her being a doctor or a lawyer , or her political interest?

[steplock]

I DEMAND to see her first income tax return! and IF she actually pays any taxes, I would LOVE to have a tape recorder around when she sees the tax rate...

Is she going to be in a State Income Tax area also?
Then there's county tax, city tax, local tax, ad nauseum.

[steplock]

PS....

She STILL looks more like a HUBBELL than a CLINTON

[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...

[glennaro]

Agreed. Good for her. It's amazing how well she's done considering the continuing behavior of her parents.

[Alouette]

McKinsey consultants worldwide who research topics ranging from health care to corporate finance.

No doubt she will be researching BJ's. (How many did she perform in order to get this assignment?)

[HuntsvilleTxVeteran]

It would have to be a very dark night.

[KC_Conspirator]

Seriously. Who would pay money to listen to this know- nothing moron? My guess is that a few ideological companies and maybe some liberal circles, like Hollywood. Remember she's the one who wrote in an article that her first reaction to 911 was (paraphrase) "The Bush Tax Cut Plan is going to kill us". Yeah, put her on your payroll at your own risk.

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.

[WyPatriot]

The main thing that struck me is how much better she looks with her mouth shut.

[hattend]

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.

[goodnesswins]

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?

[alloysteel]

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?

[section9]

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

[pepsionice]

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.

[Trickyguy]

A new phrase--"Hubble-ugly."

[Digger]

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.

[Squantos]

Now she can afford that male stripper she's been lusting after.....

Sorry......Stay Safe !

[FastCoyote]

Chelsea

[Mister Magoo]

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.

[Hank Rearden]

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.

[joey'smom]

Amazing how children of ex-presidents end up in such high-profile,lucrative positions. Kinda like our current President.

[Eaker]

Yuck!!!!

You are a twisted man!!!

Stay safe; stay armed.

For a know-nothing drunk?

No, I don't think so.

[You Dirty Rats]

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.

[joey'smom]

I think you have Chelsea confused with the Bush twins.

[Hildy]

Just another way of funneling money to the Clinton's.

[ImpotentRage]

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.

[Eaker]

I think you have Chelsea confused with the Bush twins.

Nope.

It has been well documented that the Bush girls were caught buying A drink and that Chelsea is a falling down drunk.

Stay safe; stay armed.
Eaker

[The Toad]

6 figures? Laughable.

[txlurker]

Oh really! Why don't you name a few? BTW, President Bush was elected not hired.....

[TaRaRaBoomDeAyGoreLostToday!]

[Libertina]

Just another way of funneling money to the Clinton's.
That would be a reference to the $1,000,000 the Bubba will receive for EACH 45 minute segment from CBS with Bob Dole... It is only a Democrat Campaign donation to get around the news rules. And clinton gets to take some public jabs at the current administration in his sleazy destroy-tradition way. All in all, a real "win" for the rats. Their immorality is detestable.

[healey22]

Chelsa Clinton should lay off the cosmetics. Make up is to enhance or bring out your beauty. In her case, it just emphasizes her unattractiveness. She should wear less make up to downplay her not so attractive features. Quite honestly, she looks like a transvestite when she wears make up.

[RightOnline]

Oh hell, if they're stupid enough to hire her for 100 large right out of school (where she probably hardly ever cracked a book; royalty, donchaknow), then more power to 'er.

Oh........and remind me never to hire this consulting firm. I think I just got a good look at their "judgment" and find it severely wanting.

[friendly]

A brief search of Google immediately finds Clinton era criminal activity linked to McKinsey and Co. The stench of endless democrat corruption is overwhelming.

(from Reuters, 4/5/02)

Six banks, two law firms added to Enron suit At least six investment banks and two law firms that advised Enron Corp and auditor Andersen will be added to a huge shareholder class action suit over the bankrupt energy trader's collapse, sources close to the case said on Thursday.

... Consultants McKinsey and Co, the firm which former Enron chief executive Jeff Skilling left to join Enron, and possibly other banks are expected to be named, the sources said. ...McKinsey ...could not be reached for comment after business hours.

Looks like she's had plastic surgery.

I don't want to be unkind, but Chelsea's highest income potential is scaring little kids on Halloween.
