The internet world was making much about Governor Romney accepting his appointment to the Board of Directors of Marriott Corporation. These articles were basically saying that he was a working man again.
There is no cushier job than being a member of a big company's board of directors. Yes, you have real responsibilities and, yes, you do have to do some work, but you get to do a lot of that work at home.
So for somewhere between $150,000 and $300,000 a year, Governor Romney's buddies have asked him to attend 10 meetings a year and do 1 to 2 days of work before each meeting. So he will be paid somewhere between $5,000 and $10,000 a day for 30 days of work a year. And he will get company paid health insurance as well.
Nice work if you can get it. I would roll over and go figurative heaven if that were to happen to me.
Other well known former corporate BOD members: Hillary Clinton and Michelle Obama!
