Quite a tangent topic to the article.
The article uses the first 3 paragraphs to setup the premise that schooling is not translating directly to job skills. The article is not about "we should get rid of non tech subjects".
The real TL;DR summary is in the last sentence of a very long article:
My thesis, in a single sentence: Civilized societies revolve around education now, but there is a better—indeed, more
civilized—way. If everyone had a college degree, the result would be not great jobs for all,
but runaway credential inflation.
Trying to spread success with education spreads education but not success.
On topic for the whole article please.
