Totally agree with you on this point. I just finished my 4 years in a bachelor of business admin andthe most important thing I've learned was to think critically. Don't get me wrong, the 'hard knowledge' I've learned through finance, accounting and MIS courses were invaluable, but it all pales in comparison to critical thinking.

One of my biggest takeaways through 4 years of SFU and several work terms(internships/coops) is how to approach a problem. I've learned a great deal in understanding the full implications of a problem before attempting to solve it.
