Some ìssues with this: 1. To what extent does fìnishing high school make people successful, as oppposed to it just being the case that people who have characteristics that are likely to make them successful, such as having been born smart and/or to good parents and/or to rich parents and/or in safe neighborhoods, are also likely to finish high school? 2. More people finishing high school would to create more competition on certain ways, such as in college admissions. Life is not a zero sum game, but at the same time the relationship between the fraction of society graduating high school and that fraction's material success is surely very complex. I think it's possible that above some value of the fraction of people who finish high school statistic, material success will stop increasing as the value keeps increasing. Some similar issues can be raised with some of the rest of the advice.
