It's a health wellness fair for a city, I'm wanting to do something fun but not bribe uninterested people to fill out their information with a raffle necessarily. Other health based companies there do screenings for diabetes etc, any ideas on a financial "screening" that can be quick, fun, and build value ? Any ideas appreciated.

How much stock do you put on benefits? I have two offers with stark differences in benefits. Job 1: role I want, but benefit sucks (2 weeks paternity leave, 20% coinsurance). Job 2: role is okay but higher level and great benefits (16 weeks paternity, 0% coinsurance, 5 more days of vacation). Total comp is the same though. I wonder if I should just focus on role but Job 2 is a large company, so I can move around after 2-3 years I’d expect. Thoughts?
