Working at Carnegie Hall Sure Has Its Advantages

Wall Streeters can expect to see annual bonuses jump 40 percent this year. But working for a bank requires you to wear a suit, sit behind a desk all day, and perform tasks that are often exceptionally boring. Why not become a stagehand at Carnegie Hall instead? You can show up in jeans, you'll get plenty of exercise, and while you won't make quite as much money, you'll sure come close!

Practice! And, Bandwidth

Paula Zahn Resurfaces, Prepares for Carnegie Hall

Wondering what Paula Zahn has been up to since she was dumped by CNN in 2007 and replaced with Campbell Brown? Well, there was her messy divorce from real estate developer Richard Cohen, but that isn't a subject Zahn has any interest in discussing. ("I don't want to talk about that. I want to talk about what I'm doing.") So what is she doing? Since departing CNN, Zahn has done a special for PBS and she'll be co-hosting Ch. 13's Sunday Arts beginning this Sunday, teaming up with Philippe de Montebello to take a weekly look at arts and culture. More importantly: She's headed to Carnegie Hall. The amateur cellist is scheduled to perform at the city's most prestigious musical venue on December 2nd, when she'll play alongside the Sejong Soloists. Okay, that's not as exciting as Anderson Cooper tinkling the ivories or Lou Dobbs on the harmonica. But it isn't every day that you get to see a cable news host dabble with an instrument other than the human voice. [NYDN]
