I think that schools are not so much about learning stuff as about training and testing ability to learn dull things that you don't like and/or care about. That's invaluable skill in life.

Most people forget 90% of things they've learnt in school after 5-10 years after finishing.

If you take a look at the things you were learning in college, you'd be amazed how much of even interesting and seemingly useful things somewhat associated with what you currently do, you can't even remember learning.
