great stuff(minimalism is perfect for my taste), good prices, super return policy and extra parts if you need them - I lost my bag o parts and got another in five mnutes - no questions asked.

sounds like a lot of physcoBS. Your employer will not care how well rounded you are as long as you can do the job. Unfortunately, that is all that matters in a capitalist society that the whole world for good or for bad (thank goodness) is coming to. Will we loose something in the process? Probably if we think that acedemic achievement stifles creativity, but I don't see it going the other way. If the west/U.S. does not shape up i.e., grades, achievement, etc. then maybe its time to learn another language say Chinese - not such a bad idea anyway - oops something else to learn - what a concept.

some people got more money than brains

just burn the damn thing and be done with it; on the other hand it opens up a whole new industry and introduces another altered reality.
