Shop classes got me through High School, wood, metal, small engine repair and drafting kept my grade point average up enough to get me into College.
Wood shop made a gun rack, stereo cabinet and corner table.
Metal shop, fixed up a milling machine with new paint and made a part to replace half the missing vice clamp, made a gear shift "Hurst" type for my pickup, welded the bung hole on a 55 gallon drum closed just for practice.
Small engine repair, rebuilt a push mower engine.
Drafting really helped me with my current occupation doing layouts and planning.
All great tools to prepare for life in the real world.
