Most Valuable Profession Post-TEOTWAWKI

Have you ever stopped to think about whether or not you have a profession or job that would enable you to survive in the event of a TEOTWAWKI (aka: the end of the world as we know it)? Such an event would result in a complete loss of power, which means: no computer, no gas, no refrigeration, no communication…

Here are just a few that I came up with:

Doctor/Nurse/EMT – anyone with medical training will be extremely valuable
Veterinarian – both for animals and humans
Dentist
Teacher – children will still need to be educated
Farmer/Rancher – anyone with the ability to grow food
Hunter/Trapper
Cook
Seamstress
Barber
Herbalist
Mechanic
Plumber
Botanist

If you are in one of those professions or occupations you may want to consider what you can do now to get prepared for such an event. Are there additional skills you need to brush up on to allow you to continue to perform your job without the use of electricity? Are there some tools you should have on hand in case the power goes out?


Think about it…I am.
