I personally think that a well-rounded education is a good thing. Good luck changing the direction of that juggernaut.

Moreover, general education requirements tend to be staggeringly easy to meet. At the university I went to, they were almost all freshman level courses that could be taken pass/fail so as to not negatively affect one's GPA. I, personally, found them to be a refreshing change of pace.

Degree courses were all at least tangentially related. A computer science degree at my university, for example, was centered around a variety of programming courses (data structures, assembly, operating systems, compilers and linkers, etc.), but also had a physics requirement (two courses), a math requirement (four courses), and an electrical engineering requirement (two courses).

But, yeah... A lot of a college education is about getting used to doing what you don't like by a certain deadline, with decent results. For most people, work isn't fun or interesting, but needs to be done regardless.
