Is linkedin premium worth it?

TechGromit

I've read some opinions that it's worth it, but I have a tough time justifying $30 a month when I'm not actively looking for work.  Maybe if it was $30 a year, I might consider signing up, but $30 a month? That's as much as my Cell phone bill and I use that a LOT more than LinkedIn. I feel it's WAY over priced for what they are offering. Any opinions?

If i were to bite the bullet and sign up.  I only would do so if I found myself in a position I needed an employment opportunity. Assuming other avenues failed to yield favorable results. Than once I landed another job, I'd cancel the service, until the next time I needed it. Given the demand for my experience and skills, I think my resume listed on any of the job search sites, would produce so many leads, I'd need to hire a bodyguard to for protection against the horde of recruiters.

I've felt the same way...it's TOO expensive IMO.  I have tried their 30 day trial but really didn't see any additional benefits that actually helped me.
