Is high school contest math useful after high school? I've been prepping for a lot of high school math competitions this year. Will  all the math I learn would actually mean something in college? There is a chance that all of it will be for naught, and I just wanted to know if any of you people found the math useful after high school. 
I do like what I'm learning, so it's not like I'm only prepping by forcing myself to.
EDIT: I'm not really sure what the appropriate procedure is to thank everyone for the answers. So... thanks! All of your answers were really helpful, and they motivated me a little more. However, I would like to make it clear that I wasn't looking for a reason to continue but rather just asking a question out of curiosity. 

High school math competitions require you to learn how to solve problems, especially when there is no "method" you can look up telling you how to solve these problems. Problem solving is a very desirable skill for many jobs you might someday wish to have.
