For the most part it is. Mostly it's to try to give you a taste of
several different subjects so you can better choose what you want
to do with your life.

3 years in Canada back then (we had Grade 13) for the semi-useless
degrees. Most even basic government jobs insist on a college diploma
even if it's just in basket weaving.

It's always been about making choices that will work best for you.
Things have changed some since then so students have to make
different choices now or they have just themselves to blame when
they end up joining the ranks of the well educated unemployed..

That said, I didn't pursue further education in what I was best at.
But in the end I ended up working a lot less than most people do
(after the first 15 or so years) and it all worked out fairly well..
I've been more or less semi retired since I was 32 years old.
