"You can not rush into life" I'd like to dispute this statement. Not necessarily the truth of it, but the arrogance behind it. Not everyone has the liberty of knowing exactly what they want to do when they leave school (or otherwise change direction) no matter how much thought they've put into it. More so, not everyone has the liberty of actually being able to do what they want to do due to circumstance.
I personally didn't know what I wanted to do after school. Based purely on the fact I had achieved reasonably well during school, I went into university to study Multimedia Design. After roughly two years, I can now confidently say I wouldn't make the same decision. Besides, how was I to know whether or not I would enjoy the experience unless I did it? How dull would life be if we knew exactly what we wanted to do, and spent our whole lives following that course? Ever heard the phrase "life is a journey, not a destination"?
More on topic, while I have generally enjoyed my university experience, there are some aspects of what I'm studying that I have not. We can choose the general subject we study, but there are many courses that must be completed to progress, covering many different areas. If you have to do 24 courses and struggle with 1 of them, I wouldn't say that's justification to abandon the idea of following that subject as a whole, which sure sounds like what you're implying.

I thought touch interfaces were horribly ineffecient. The ONLY reason that that Metro thingy needs the whole screen is so that buttons can be the size of buicks so they can be, well, touched. Even in your demonstratory screenshot, probably over half the screen is just whitespace.
The Start menu I have now takes up roughly an eighth of the screen, and amazingly, I can still navigate with it, search on it, change options through it and get to all my commonly used programs on it.
EDIT: Oh, not to mention see the rest of the screen.
