Former WH Press Secretary Jay Carney Joins the $100,000-a-Speech Club

The 49-year-old spin doctor received a signing bonus to join the Washington Speakers Bureau, which could result in payments of up to $100,000 per speech.

Carney will be in huge demand with universities, corporations and trade associations while discussing anecdotes about working with President Barack Obama as well as his views on the upcoming midterm and presidential elections.

The fees he receives from the speaking circuit will give Carney time to consider job offers, including positions in public relations firms, consulting companies and even Silicon Valley, Politico said. http://www.newsmax.com/Politics/Carney-speeches-jobs-spokesman/2014/07/17/id/583223/
