"Education is what is left after you've forgotten everything you've learned."
Learning only things you think you'll need (e.g. coding) limits your thinking considerably. I always find it amazing how knowledge from absolutely unrelated fields helps me to solve specific problems.
I totally agree. You should invest as much time as you can in improving the quantity and quality of your knowledge on any field and topic that you find interesting. You always see huge bookshelves with thousands of books in the home's of the rich and smart. Make sure you've got some Moby Dick and some Financial Modeling in your bookshelf, and not just X, Y, and Z programming language for dummies.
That being said, education is a continuous habit of the curious and intellectual, and not a byproduct of formal education. Four years in college teaches you very little in the grand scheme of things, and is in lots of cases not a prerequisite to keep improving your knowledge and skills.
