Guess the bigger question is, what is the use of going to a university when you re-learn most things at your workplace? Obviously does not apply to vocational stuff or Medicine.

Yes. Point is surely to cultivate the 'power of the mind'. With deep learning in any subject, generic skills are developed, such as ability to think critically, to synthesise, to communicate clearly etc.If you do a STEM degree its very likely you will use it in your first job.
Even if your degree isn't directly applicable to your career it should build your capacity for learning, ability to problem solve, critical thinking and research skills. It will likely have an impact ( provided you study something worth studying).

I think if you enjoy learning about what you are studying at university, that period of deep learning over 3 to 4 years is really powerful in developing generic skills. Usually the more you do something - with focus - the better you become at it and there is always more to learn and more to understand. Of course if you don't enjoy what you are studying then you get less out of it and the returns diminish more rapidly.However, do we need 4 or 3 years to do that? Can this cultivation not happen in one year?
Nope, it’s also insane how easily people grasp until the age of 25, and it’s downhill from there, thats when experience, EQ come into picture.However, do we need 4 or 3 years to do that? Can this cultivation not happen in one year?
