Thanks. It's already paying off, mainly because I went to the dorm knowing only how to make grilled cheese and pizza, by skill to skill comparison I'm already feeling like much less obnoxious/shouty Gordon Ramsey. Next year I hope to get that much better.

In your experience, what's the benefit in the long run? I'm banking on self-reliance and not being suddenly completely baffled how expensive everything is ;).

I mean, what's not? You'll value every single good thing that happens to you that much more, forever.

I supported myself for a good chunk of college by parting fools and their parents' money. I definitely don't advise doing that, but it does give one perspective on what it means to live in a world run by people who had their place in it handed to them.

Ransomware wasn't a thing yet, would have been too indiscriminate, and besides that no fun at all. You don't need much skill to pick a drunk fratboy's pocket, and you can find many drunk fratboys conveniently clustered together pretty much every weekend.
