I'm not glad to tell this, but in many moments I've felt really interested in one subject. I mean, that kind of interesting that make you to search about it, to fascinate with the new discoverys, to really learn ("really learn" = not to repeat to learn) about what you are reading or experimenting etc. I think that if you can't choose what you want to learn, if you just have to learn, you won't feel the same interest that if you can choose what you want and investigate for your own.
Of course that there are variables that can influence the learning, like the teacher, the part of the subject that you're studying, the ambient (classroom, friends), the use of the subject, etc. etc. But if you want, you can remove these variables and learn without impediments.
In my case, I've learned "a lot" about psychollogy and I can use that in my daily life, I've learned some things that explains me things that didn't have any reasonable explanation (what are dreams, how to interpret them to know a lot about the person, etc.). And now I can learn more about this subject cause I'm taking it in school, and it looks really interesting.
But it's difficult to attend to other "less interesting" subjects... so it's good to know a bit of all and to "specialize" in what you want.
