Or how about protection in a resource-scarce world? Or do you think that everyone will be peachy during The Descent?

Scaventologists with a minor in Stretchmogism.

Also a person who makes good stews and killer scratch
biscuits will be a treasured asset in any locale so long as
they share.

Pimp My Ride will switch formats and will be all about the
fascinating social interactions and striving to avoid gassy
breakfast and lunch entre's among vignetted car pool
teams.

Repair persons for everything are going to be swamped
and reasonably content in a village or community setting
but don't look for them to float any IPO's.

Engineering and microbiology, seriously. Bet against trends if you want, and reap the inevitable.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('fiedag', 'P')eople Skills. Has always been, and always will be, the most important skill.

Yup.

And ability to get other people motivated.

You got that your own skills become less important.
