Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome your new Grafton County, N.H., treasurer: Dartmouth junior Vanessa Sievers!

Yup, that’s right — treasurer-to-be Sievers is still in college. And, according to the incumbent, Carol Elliott, she’s a “teenybopper.”

The part-time job, which involves keeping track of investments and payroll, pays $6,408 a year. Not bad. So how’d Sievers do it? It’s all about social media: she posted an ad on Facebook for $51. Looks like Elliott should’ve learned about the Internets.
