IIRC, she ran the legal staff of the U of C Hospital system most recently. I'd like to see her be able to get hired doing the same thing for one of the major DC systems; heaven knows some of them need it. However, I'd settle for her being able to continue putting her attention primarily into her kids (their father will do his best, but he hasn't got a 9-5 job for the next few years) rather than being expected to be the social queen of the US and chat up ambassadors over dinner and give the fashion columnists something to talk about.
Not that chatting up ambassadors over dinner isn't a skilled job -- ask any career diplomat. But I don't see why it should automatically become the responsibility of anyone who happens to be married to the president.
