Sometimes a person needs to go to college in order to understand why it might not be relevant for them. By simply touting that college is useless as a fact seems too far-fetched for me. No one is born with an ability to assess going to college as it is today. It's all social conditioning. To that end, college is useful. If it can teach you something about yourself then the 2 or 3 semesters were not wasted time or money.

At least didn't just resort to buying offshore offset credits right?

There are social pressures around the term "work". Many simply get out of bed for work because it's expected of them. Mastery and purpose seem more fitting during the age of samurais. A materialistic society is almost incapable of distinguishing the difference between money and other types of motivation.

I've gotten used to never upgrading my idevices before doing a search for potential problems. I usually just stick with the last iteration of ios designed for that generation of hardware.

I agree that this doesn't really solve the gifting "problem". In addition, gifting is supposed to be a guilt free and a no pressure process stemming from what the gifter is capable of and comfortable with. It should come from the heart. A wish list really doesn't break down any new walls for me. Glad someone is at least thinking about new ways though.
