Your question answers itself. Should be: Why ARE studies........
But common sense is something you either have or you don't.

Study is partially important, because now a days it is meant for earnings or a good job.

Other way of studies are to get the knowledge of realities of life, it is also partially good.

Important is, or the root of real study, or from where the study originates are the combination of 3 things, sincerity, research & keen observation to find the truth about ourself and Absolute truth.

Do you mean individual studies or "school studies"(yes, a little bit compulsory, isn't it?).
I think "all" studies are important in our life for orientation. The more you know, the more you can make decisions in accordance with your personal beliefs, values(also you might change your beliefs and values and that means evolution). Being true to you, is gaining confidence and confidence makes you stronger.
My opinion is that the most important think about studies is HOW you use them.
Are you using them for you, or for...others, or for no reason at all?

Let me recommend you to read Sir Francis Bacon's Essay No. 50: Of Studies. There you can find why and how 'studies' have long been regarded as what we should learn to accomplish the heart of the matter since, in fact, any field of studies we've decided to pursue is important to our life. I'm sorry I don't have the book nearby; however, I will try to search from Project Gutenburg for you. Please wait, thanks.
OK, I can make it, please read slowly, skip any part you don't understand (you can read it or ask someone who knows later) and think if what he wrote is feasible in our daily life. His English is not easy but he's a great British scholar and lived between 1561-1626. Enjoy.

Of Studies

STUDIES serve for delight, for ornament, and
for ability. Their chief use for delight, is in
privateness and retiring; for ornament, is in dis-
course; and for ability, is in the judgment, and
disposition of business. For expert men can exe-
cute, and perhaps judge of particulars, one by one;
but the general counsels, and the plots and mar-
shalling of affairs, come best, from those that are
learned. To spend too much time in studies is sloth;
to use them too much for ornament, is affectation;
to make judgment wholly by their rules, is the
humor of a scholar. They perfect nature, and are
perfected by experience: for natural abilities are
like natural plants, that need proyning, by study;
and studies themselves, do give forth directions too
much at large, except they be bounded in by ex-
perience. Crafty men contemn studies, simple men
admire them, and wise men use them; for they
teach not their own use; but that is a wisdom with-
out them, and above them, won by observation.
Read not to contradict and confute; nor to believe
and take for granted; nor to find talk and dis-
course; but to weigh and consider. Some books are
to be tasted, others to be swallowed, and some few
to be chewed and digested; that is, some books are
to be read only in parts; others to be read, but not
curiously; and some few to be read wholly, and
with diligence and attention. Some books also may
be read by deputy, and extracts made of them by
others; but that would be only in the less impor-
tant arguments, and the meaner sort of books, else
distilled books are like common distilled waters,
flashy things. Reading maketh a full man; confer-
ence a ready man; and writing an exact man. And
therefore, if a man write little, he had need have
a great memory; if he confer little, he had need
have a present wit: and if he read little, he had
need have much cunning, to seem to know, that
he doth not. Histories make men wise; poets witty;
the mathematics subtile; natural philosophy deep;
moral grave; logic and rhetoric able to contend.
Abeunt studia in mores. Nay, there is no stond or
impediment in the wit, but may be wrought out
by fit studies; like as diseases of the body, may
have appropriate exercises. Bowling is good for
the stone and reins; shooting for the lungs and
breast; gentle walking for the stomach; riding for
the head; and the like. So if a man's wit be wan-
dering, let him study the mathematics; for in
demonstrations, if his wit be called away never so
little, he must begin again. If his wit be not apt to
distinguish or find differences, let him study the
Schoolmen; for they are cymini sectores. If he be
not apt to beat over matters, and to call up one
thing to prove and illustrate another, let him study 197
the lawyers' cases. So every defect of the mind,
may have a special receipt.
