Anna Wintour's Daughter Fears She Won't Get Hired in the Publishing Industry

Talk about troubles in the publishing world.

Anna Wintour — the editrix at American Vogue since 1988 — has a daughter who’s worried about getting a job in the industry upon graduation in the spring.

New York Magazine reports that aspiring-journalist Bee Shaffer said, "I’m really nervous about the fact nobody’s hiring right now. I think everyone’s going to have trouble finding a job." Shaffer added that she’s not interested in getting a job working under mom and is "staying far away from Vogue." Smart move — considering Condé Nast (the publisher of Vogue) enacted sweeping job cuts across its editorial board and other departments.

Ms. Shaffer, you can send your resume to wowOwow.com. We’re doing great!

I remember that same feeling back in the mid-70’s…..but back then, we didn’t have computers in our pockets, as we do now….she will find a way….who knows? Lots of people who cannot find ‘jobs’, become entreprenurial! And instead of a J.O.B.—-they get to do what THEY want to do….’their way’….whether the bills get paid—or not!

Well, Ms. Shaffer, unfortunately, for the immediate future, employment by all means will be moving at a glacial pace. That’ll be all. Peace and grace

Somehow I don’t think it’s going to be a problem … She’s probably a nice girl, but why anyone would consider this to be news is beyond me. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/fashion/style/3345582/The-fashion-world’s-heir-apparent.html

I see why it’s here. It’s basically saying that even the kid of a powerhouse is scared about being employed. It’s just more of the doomsaying that’s going on… Really this pic should have been in the best dressed thread… incredible outfits… age appropriate on both of them for once.
