As I'm staring at my student loan statement, I can't help but think the time and money I spent on college wasn't worth it. I swear I can't think of a single thing from school that I use today. Did anyone's college experience benefit them? Or were we all scammed by the idea that we had to go to college?

Mine definitely helped. I studied marketing communications, including several internships and self directed study. I worked in Marcom for 20 years before I got my MBA and decided to branch out.

It did, but more to expand my intellectual horizons than in the job market.

I have been talking to a recruiter for a little over a month about a position. I let her know out the gate that I really wasn’t looking to change jobs, but she just kept wanting to continuing the conversation. I didn’t have 2 interviews with the hiring coming and they know that I am not really looking to make a switch. They are now working on an offer letter and I know they’re going to offer me more money. I’m having my annual review this week. Any advice on how to handle a) job offer b) review?
