You are making the BIG assumption that foreign languages, the humanities, teamwork, and learning other than rote memorization are useless. It takes more than knowing a lot of facts and being able to crunch numbers to be successful in a career, even in technical ones like science and engineering. Successful scientists and engineers not only have strong technical skills, but also strong "soft" skills, like the ability to effectively communicate ideas and work in a team.
