What flying schools don't teach you...

I was sitting down one day after talking to a couple of fairly newly qualified Commercial pilots and began to think about what proffessional pilots schools actually don't teach you that you really need i.e
1/ How to fly pipeline
2/ How to fly pleasure flights
3/ How to take fairly important pax to large airports without making a tit of yourself
4/ Cargo flights
5/ Parachute dropping
to name but a few general things that you probably will come up against unless you have loads of money and get an ATPLH/IR Multi and go straight to the north sea.
I would have thought that these would be basics to learn. saferty is a main concern and rightly so but basic commercial flying skills tend to be left to the first prospective employer.
Any thoughts?
