Everything is done properly, but they lack the spiritual dimension. I was once talking to two academics, both in the field of Jewish philosophy. The difference lay in the fact that the second, in addition to his academic status, was also a talmid chakham who set aside time for regular Gemara study. The Torah serves not only to increase a person's spirituality, but also to mould his personality in a tangible way, such that his feet are firmly planted on the ground. Torah study has great importance specifically in our times.
Every profession requires education.
A farmer these days cannot be satisfied with the knowledge that farmers of the previous generation had. He needs education. When I visited an agricultural plantation some months ago, I became aware of how much needs to be learned in order to know how to grow tomatoes in this day and age. We're not speaking merely of skills. Even a plumber today needs professional training and education.
