This is nice when you have the time to sit down and enjoy literature at a leasurly pace. It's not nice when it's one of many obligations that comes with its own deadlines and tests.

In fairness, this is the standard university experience and has been for many decades. You either figure out how to balance your time and make the grades or you don’t.
Making the grade often has nothing to do with actually doing the reading. Why there are cram courses and distilled notes that students sell.
Sure, and making the grade often has nothing to do with getting the job (e.g. just because you have a CS degree doesn't mean you're a shoe-in for that dev job you applied to). But since tests and degrees are simply indicators, not absolute proof, that you're qualified, people fudge tend to things every step of the way; it's turtles all the way down.
