How should I handle this tricky situation at work? My boss has taken me under her wing to guide me on the path of success. I feel she did this because I was open to her assistance. We have now developed a friendly "quid pro quo" type of agreement. She assists me by sharing her expertise on certain work-related items and vice-versa. I will in turn share with my colleagues when I feel capable of doing so. Some of my closest colleagues are feeling insecure about my friendly and close relationship with our boss. It seems like they feel threatened by it...like they think I am privy to all this "important information" that I won't share with them.

I graduated from Big Name U in May with 0 honors or distinctions, little work experience, a squishy liberal arts degree, and a barely acceptable G.P.A. I feel like I wasted a pretty big chunk of my life. Where do I go from here?

I'm stuck. I'm 25, and I moved to Brooklyn 6 months ago with my girlfriend of 8 years. The plan was that I'd find a better job when we moved here, but I haven't been able to get one. Now my girlfriend is going to leave, and I don't know what to do.
