There is a VERY large part of your life that takes place outside of your "job", and an awful lot of your "job" that doesn't involve your specific knowledge of your official function. If you can't fill that social part of your life (and work) with intelligent, interesting conversation/interaction, you're going to be very lonely. Rounding is the part of your education designed to give you a glimpse of what the rest of the world is doing/interested in, so that you may find some mutual interests with others. Don't knock it. Very few successful people are NOT well rounded. Warren Buffet, Bill Gates' financial hero, turned him onto bridge, then philanthropy. Not exactly in keeping with their first love of making billions.
