Another problem is that colleges, merely to make as much money as possible, expect their students to take courses which are not even geared toward the careers for which the students are striving.
Well rounded doesn't mean good at everything. Well rounded means have enough grounding across the breadth of systematic human knowledge so that one would not end up being a drone that is skill in one field, but hopeless foolish when pipping up about societal problems that inevitably spans much of the field of basic human knowledge.
