I specialized early in college and then my field dried up and disappeared. Then I bounced around for a while and now I am back in school.
The problem with specializing or focusing in in area of study is that it makes for an inflexible work force. And if you start letting young kids focus on one thing or another they may completely miss a different subject that they would have been great at. I think graduate school is where you should start to specialize. There's no reason you can't take undergrad classes in a specific field but I don't think that should be all you do
In summary, specializing your education can make you exceptional at one area but it is only one area and the most successful people tend to be great at a lot of things.
