In Australia tradesmen (plumbers, electricians, builders) make very good money and they don't need college.

The same here.

Of course not. The majority of high school graduates do not even go to college.

But at least in the first year, I think it would have been their intention.

Of course it is. Nothing in high school will actually help you unless you have a very specialized career (most require a college degree). Otherwise they would teach you how to grill burgers in high school.

Everything in high school helps at some time in life.

Give some examples.

English terminology. I mean, who doesn't need to know that a simile is like a metaphor? Or that tone and mood are not the same thing?
