It may be your situation, but its neither reality nor the truth.
My student years were extraordinarily challenging and intellectually stimulating, and they opened up an entire universe of ideas—ideas I would never have come across (or at least not tested systematically) in the so called real world. I dabbled in many subjects and learned something about all of them in the process before settling on Philosophy and the eventually Law.
The opportunity to study at a good school under good professors is a beautiful thing that will stay with you for life.
That said, there are undoubtedly jobs and careers out there for which a relevant education is not a prerequisite. But even for people contemplating a career in one of those jobs, I'd think you would be mad not to seize the opportunity (if you have it) to get a broader education first.
