What are skills that you've learned from school/family/experience that actually serve you well as you get older or have helped you get to where you are in your life? I hated all the bs that school puts us through to become 'well rounded' citizens.
I have somehow lucked my way into an awesome life, so here's my list of skills that actually matter for me barring a zombie apocalypse:
1. English/good grammar
2. Microsoft Excel
3. Self discipline (food, money, booze, prostitutes all in moderation)
4. Ability to bs myself into/out of a conversation with people of all walks of life

A degree in EE this year is going to set me up nicely with stable employment. Can't wait to get out of BR and start a viable career in the PNW at Adobe.

For a broad answer multitasking. ADD/ ADHD sucks in the modern world It's all about multitasking thes day.
Acculturization.
Eta: being able to still speak up and talk to someone man on man. (Ex. Guy that couldn't talk to his 6yo's round ball couch about what he deemed innapropeiate :

Math, computer skills, and English means you will make plenty of money in life (as long as you have the drive). How you spend it is another thing.

Being able to bullshite someone is great but realizing that having a bit of background on the topic and portraying confidence in thier ineptness with your knowledge allows you to bullshite them to silence and acceptance.
One other, if being audited, allways place a flaw that will allow them the opportunity to find it. Make sure you have a fix in place to correct before they leave.

Some OT Classic attributes that need to be considered.
A quick couple

-Smash females much hotter than Iggy Azalea on the regular. Wouldn't gander twice if passed on the street.

Not based off looking at pics.... Unless you saw the name and was thinking "iffy pop"
Saying she "looks just like a man" is the hip thing to say right now

Being able to think logically.
Being able to communicate with all types of people and understand how they think.
Having a level of ambition that an average person would not comprehend.
