Romney will be working for his eldest son, Tagg, at the investment firm Solamere Capital. Yep, working for his own kid. A man with a six-year gap on his resume probably isn't going to find work in the wanted ads, so, you take what you can get.

A person with knowledge of the deal tells NBC that Romney is planning to work with Solamere for one week a month.

Ouch.

Sure, it's been a while since Romney has been in the finance game, but starting him off as a week-a-month temp is just cruel.
