I think that study skills are about a lot more than just learning stuff in school or college. They carry over into life in the workplace. When I'm analyzing something or writing something, I won't be productive unless I can concentrate for long periods ---often on something I don't necessarily want to be concentrating on. Acquiring study skills taught me how to focus on something that didn't necessarily excite me mentally.
Yeah, the transition from school, where you don't have to actually do much of anything or be anywhere, to a professional job where you are actually expected to do things and be productive is somewhat traumatic.
