Benefits come in all shapes and sizes. While I get decent healthcare/vacation/sick at my job the biggest benefits to me are my 2 minute commute and my ultra-flexible schedule. Those are the benefits that offer up quality of life and it would take a significant amount of salary increase for me to even consider looking for another job. These days, job security should also be considered a benefit.  |

health insurance is incredibly important, but don't overlook the 401K programs, a matching program type thing can actually end up being a lot of money if you stay with the company for a while.
the upward mobility point that was mentioned is also incredibliy important. If you know that the company isn't likely to promote from within and all that, try and take them for all their worth!

Benefits are extremely important. It's unrealistic to expect that you are not going to eventually experience a decline in health.
Personally, I think affordable health care would spur a rise in entrepreneurship and open up a lot of jobs. I know several people who can afford to retire now, but can't afford to retire and buy health insurance at the current premiums. I know several other people, talented individuals, who would be working for themselves, if it were not for health care costs.
