The Children of the Ruling Class: Fortunate Slaves?

Taking classes with them isn't much better. The personal anecdotes are so painful. If you had to hear someone relate Charlotte Perkins Gilman to "my mom, who's a CEO and works really, really hard..." Oh thank god it's summer.

There are lots of reasons why magazines would hire the children of the rich and famous: * When you have to live in New York on an editorial assistant's salary of $23,000 per year, it helps to have that extra apartment your folks bought as an investment in 1990. * Now that magazines realize they actually have to fact-check, say, how long a famous drug addict spent in jail or whether a certain TV writer studied to be a pickup artist, your prep-school and Ivy League education will come in handy. * When you're asked to give Anne Hathaway a tour of your offices in preparation for her role in "The Devil Wears Prada," it's better if you can say "Hey, remember that one party? That was great!" rather than "A-hamina-hamina-hamina." * When the head guy is ready to shop around his own screenplay about a magazine editor who singlehandedly stops the gang of terrorists who've taken over his building, you can pull half a dozen studio execs right out of your Blackberry.
