I agree. The most benefit I got out of my computer science degree was not learning the computer science topics I was already interested in, as I was learning those on my own anyway. I got far more value out of being "forced" to learn about other things that I would not have thought I would have enjoyed, ranging from economics to Russian history to foreign languages.
Maybe I would have eventually studied those things on my own, but maybe not. And either way, it helped me to realize that there are lots of interesting things in the world well outside the realm of my favorite things.
