During the majority of my time working with computers, Windows was the operating system of choice. Reason being, it's all I've known. In 2002, I took a college course titled "Linux Administration" which entitled me to a few cd-roms of Redhat 7.x. While this course was nothing more than a few extra credits for me, I fell in love with Linux and went through the entire textbook a week into the class. It was a nice feeling to use something "different" than what I was used to.

Sure, I could use Apt-get to install everything, but what happens if I forget to pay my internet bill? I can't install anything, then.
This is wrong. You can use apt-get to install from _any_ media, not necessarily from the internet (though that's the most common use -always up-to-date).
