does high school matter

Does high school matter? Is it preparing you for the real world? If not, how do we fix it?
ima have to disagree and agree that high school does matter and it is preparing us for the real world because i know there are many people who became successful only on hard work and dication. for example if you want to be a lawyer your gonna have to go to high school and college. another example hard working people start from the bottom to rise to the top and they haven't gone to school or didn't finish. they prepared themselve for the real world from experience of many years.
