Morno,
It's got next to nothing to do with what you studied...finishing High School and/or Tertiary education is used for two reasons:
1. Culling mechanism
2. To show an employer you have a certain level of dedication, motivation and aptitude beyond something aviation related.
I know (and knew back then) a lot of crap I learnt at High School and Uni has no relevance to the professional field I was pursuing but I did graduate highest in my year both in High School and University, not because I'm naturally smart but because I worked my ass off and tried to broaden my knowledge base....it reveals alot about a person's psych I would say....
