Your reply, in the context of the comment you replied to, strikes me as a point of view so American that it's almost cliché.

I think that it'd be quite sad if we'd adjust education so that it'd merely contain things that are of interest to companies.

Although yes, it's sad to adjust education strictly to companies' needs. It's also sad to force people to spend so much time on the intrisinc workings of a microprocessor when all they want is to make web apps or a living ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

There's no one size fits all.
