Well, I choose to believe it. There's no question that wealthy kids get jobs & opportunities that other people do not. But there's also no question that many people at top jobs did not have that family background - and education is what levels the playing field. It's harder for people who don't start out w/those big-shot connections, but it can be done. I don't really admire Chelsea for choosing this career, I just think she should be able to do what she wants w/her life w/o having criticism & scrutiny.The lifestyle might be glamorous, but I don't envy her job - spending your life at a financial hedge fund? I can't imagine a more boring, stressful career. But it's her choice, and it's her life. She doesn't have to cater to the expectations of strangers & DU posters.
