"Learning for its own sake" is sometimes a better deal than studying something dull just because it might be useful career-wise. Better to take at least a few interesting/fun papers for personal fulfillment, rather than devoting the whole of uni to tedious drudgery :)
If one is doing a subject just to be useful career-wise and finds it dull, perhaps the job isn't quite the right one for the person. I'd agree taking some interesting papers amongst the ones which will be useful is good but one has to be careful they don't end up only doing purely fun papers. Otherwise one might as well get a library card and internet connection, as they're a lot cheaper than a uni course not to mention more tailored to ones interests and skill levels.
The library: learn your way, at your pace and at times which suit you. Like the "elite fitness" gym ad but for education
