I think college is the age where you begin to specialize in one topic--giving you basic knowledge in your career choice. I remember how little I knew as a High School Freshman, and, how much physics helps me understand things like parallax, or how basic math helps me figure out things in land nav or calculating mils.
You're right in that being a jack of all trades won't get you very far, unless you're super smart and end up going to Harvard Law (my buddy, an AFA grad got a 174 on the LSAT without trying). However, I think the current system of specializing in College helps.
