Here are my thoughts.
A young man/woman should know the following:
Be able to change the oil in a car.
Be able to change a tire on a car.
Know fire arm safety.
How to handle a knife.
How to sharpen a knife.
Know to stand up when a lady enters a room (for the men)
Know to stand up to shake someones hand.
Know to look someone in the eye when shaking a hand.
Know how to shake hands. Not limp, too firm, grasping only the fingers etc.
Know how to start a fire and keep it maintained.
Know how to balance a checkbook. (goes with basic math I guess)
Know how to save some money for a rainy day.
Know basic manners (please, thank you, etc.)
