I went for engineering, so I did learn practical stuff. I took a couple of graduate classes as electives and realized that those classes are mostly fluff and the content was hardly worth learning. It was abundantly clear that grad school was a grift.
Ironically I ducked into grad school straight from undergrad because of recession at the time, and specialized in what I liked best (materials/metallurgy etc). I really enjoyed that deep dive and time period way better than the hectic pile of undergrad. Of course, I never really used the specialization....
