Ivanka seems like a lovely and intelligent woman (I'm thinking we have Ivana to thank for that) but the last thing the world needs is another shitty, blowhard book of "advice" from a Trump.

But on the other hand, is that really an accomplishment? Not being Paris? And I don't know if she's put her smarts to good use. You hear her parroting the same catchphrases as her dad. She drops a lot of "image", "branding", and "loyalty" into her conversations, which tells me she's not a critical thinker. And if she were as smart and ambitious as the Trump (TM) myth would like us to believe, why didn't she try her hand in an organization NOT controlled by her dad?

Despite how repulsive I find her father, she is quite well spoken. I would enjoy her calm voice reading me a bedtime story every night.

1. I can't help but feel frustrated when there are really, really, ridiculously rich people who are also at least potentially really smart (which, she's clearly smart, and therefore has the potential for really-smartness), and they want to go into something like "real estate." I know that people should do what they want (and I believe that), but I also feel like if I had the luxury of never having to worry about money, I would either dedicate my life to arcane research that takes lots of money and time and patience, but that would increase the world's knowledge. Or I'd spend my time working for important causes, either the environment or women's rights or human rights or anything. But real estate? Perhaps I just can't understand because the idea of just being a business person seems to boring to me. It just seems like real estate does nothing to increase the amount of goodness in the world, and it's just an interesting business that can make a lot of money. Which, if you already have a lot of money, more than you could conceivably spend, why get a job whose sole purpose is to make money? Am I just too much of a dirty communist to understand this logic?
2. Not all women would want a job at Vogue. If Anna Wintour called me and offered me a job (not even calling my assistant!!) I wouldn't have a problem saying no. Not all women are the same. I wish people would stop talking about all be-vaginaed people like we're some monolithic block that all think and feel the same.

Then again, I suppose if she dealt in Trump-grade properties and I grew up being surrounded by awesome highrises in Manhattan and Waikiki, I may see it all differently..

I think the better advice would be to take these stupid offers and save the bank you make off of them, keep the expieriance from it THAN leave when you have a savings account to do what you love.
After all, would the Devil Wears Prada chick be where she is today if SHE turned down the job at Vogue?
