Agree, but there are still some fields that are taught in detail at university (instead of "here's the basics, figure out the rest by yourself") - like medicine for example.
Medicine is kind of a special case in that there's pre-med for the undergraduate and then a post-graduate program that mixes classroom work and an apprenticeship program. You obviously have to learn a lot in both of those settings, but doctors look stuff up all the damn time in their clinics and they take plenty of continuing education courses throughout their careers.
Even then, a big part of medical school is learning how to learn. Doctors are (ideally) expected to be lifelong students: always learning as their field advances.
