Unfortunately for you we live in a 'sort of' free country where people are free to get an education and work in jobs that interest them instead of doing as you say.
“Why do we have rules, regulations, codes, ordnances, local state and federal laws by the hundreds of thousands of pages?”
Because we live in an over regulated, over taxed, cry baby nanny state whose bureaucrats are only concerned with covering their own butts, not public service, and who are completely devoid of any common sense.
“This guy is going to manage public finances, rules and regulations? And he doesn’t think it applies to him?”
He’s exactly they type of guy we should have managing our society. Instead we have guys like you. Thats why everyone hates bureaucrats.
These are 'occupations' that exist only due to forced taxation. That have little to no free market value. Besides, 'Public Administration' interesting? Please.

There is no popular evidence that people dislike bureaucracies. Many people say they do, but no one has, to my knoledge, ever, at all, ever gotten rid of a single one. They have been asking, getting and paying for them for over a hundred years. What people don't like, like these two, is when the rules do apply to them. If they stayed two more days, I doubt either would say, "hey, you know what, we just squeaked in and this is for guys who are here on their ( fill in )tour. Let's turn it down." Nope, one day short it's a crime. One day over we deserve it.
Lastly, going to collage is already a grossly subsidized enterprise. The idea that fishermen, waitresses, truck drivers, miners and others should be further taxed for these two type of 'degrees', or any other, is sickening.
