It teaches you key skills, wisdom, logic, reason. It's not about pure knowledge, retaining facts and formulae and remember pi.

Speaking for myself, you are 100% wrong.
I still use a calculator so my math classes, all that advanced shit, I have never and will never use. My english grammar is about that of a high school senior. All my history classes have been forgotten. I can't remember a lick of foreign language I took. (and it's only been 7 years since I graduated and I went for 5 years). I can't think of one subject that I still use or even remember. I majored in political science, that sure taught me a lot.
I skipped more classes than I went too and I spent more time looking at T&A than I did looking at school books. It taught me nothing of responsibility especially since I got school loans so i felt like I wasn't really paying for it. But did I after I graduated, lol.
I learned more when I took a year off right before I finished and worked with a network marketing company and learned from some great motivational, sales type people, having to cold call people, walk on a stage in front of 1000's of people, manage a business, that was 1000x more beneficial to me than anything I learned in 5 years of college. I learned ZERO from college about computers, taught myself, and about realestate, which I was a sponge and learned from some really good successful people.
I am sure I am not the norm, but college did nothing for me except give me a lot of good memories, a nice debt when i got out, and really cool piece of paper I hang on my wall. period.
