Engineer build weapons because they are not trained nor paid to think about their effects.
Political scientists can't think of alternative societies because they wouldn't know the first thing about administration.
Marketing majors fuck up the lives of endless consumers because it's not important for them to know what they're selling.
These endless consumers won't know how much they're being fucked because they're pressured to focus in the labor aspects of their lives - someone else will take care of their commodities.
And endless producers will be forever exploited, for society will still need people that heavily specialize in service and maintenance and resource extraction, which closes them the doors for better opportunities.

Nice society.
You don't think eight years of compulsory subjects is enough to let people decide to branch out more into what THEY want to do, and will lead to the death of a positive, peaceful society?
