What in education is out like a wristwatch, "a single function device?"

The system itself is a single function device, its only meant to get a profession and nothing else, and that's good to be honest, i mean in my opinion without education you wouldn't see the industries that you see now. Sometimes you learn about unnecessary things, things that is not relevant to your life. A lot of people think that education is just so that you can a better job, but i can see the bigger picture. The bigger picture is that education is not only so that you can get a degree, its also for you to learn about life in general, history, math, and science are essential parts of life.
