Systems admin with a computer science degree.

I guess I can do tech stuff with whatever bits and pieces we find lying around.

Well Law student hopefully going into lawyer. However without any laws to uphold I'm ever so slightly useless.

I guess sorting arguments in the end then.

I'm a liability claims specialist so... I'd be utterly useless. I mean I'm good at investigating, examining details, drawing conclusions and negotiating, but as far as practical skills go? Eh.

I used to drive forklifts, that's equally useless.

I'm a roofer, and I've worked in most areas of construction during my adult life. I also worked as a landscaper in my teens, so I know how to use a chainsaw. That's besides the first aid training, and the SCA armoured combat skills I've developed.

Lets see, im studying to be a psychologist... so a shrink? Ive also hunted quite a bit, so I can get food. Im also a leader at a church group, so I could always run a church if one is built.

In all honesty, probably nothing too glorious. I'm in good shape and thats about all I bring to the table. So probably a laborer of some kind.

It doesn't matter if you have the best architects and engineers in the world. If you don't have the manpower to turn ideas into a reality.

Well I'm a combat medic in the US Army so I got some useful skills. Also, I like to hunt during the winter when I have the opportunity so survival won't be too much of an issue

Well, looks like it's work horse for me. I've been told I'm fairly intelligent but I've got no real skills besides being able to take direction fairly well and a strong back.

I have 3/4 of a chemistry degree (still going to school).

I may be able to come up with something.

I currently have two jobs.. one involves rental applications with credit and background checks.. the only really useful thing there would be organisational skills and the ability to read people.

My other job involves cooking, cleaning, leadership and maintenance, as well as dealing with difficult people... so I guess those skills would help more.

I'm a fourth year medical student, I know a bunch of stuff including advanced life-support. So with all of the other vaguely medical peoplel, I help could set up a clinic.

I also know how to shoot and hunt a bit, so that helps too.

I'm worred about the ratio of guys to girls in this apocalypse.

I'm still in school but I'm working on my skills in singing and Clarinet-ting. Therefore I could easily pursue a career in music, and therefore those are my career skills.

I will bring good music to the community! Other than that, I got nothing practical.

I was trained as a sniper so I'm probably a better shot than most and I've been a prison guard for awhile now so I can read people and make makeshift weapons. I guess I'd be a guard or something... Oh, and I can play a base guitar so I'm good at being unnoticed.

Well I don't have a job so I would probably go around punching trees for a bit. In all seriousness I would like to be a scout to explore for food, resources and land. If the jobs open then a ranger like from Ranger's Apprentice.

I could be a farmer, I've ran plenty of power equipment for a farm and have helped my relatives countless times. Although it would mostly be with pigs and or cattle.

I'm currently going into flooring/carpentry so I could help build houses.

I can also cook fairly decently.

I'm personable and a fairly good leader (or so I've been told) and rather quick on my feet in most situations so I guess I could be on a council or something akin to that as well.

That's pretty much it, sure there are more but those are the most important ones

I spin cotton so no help there, but I do know how to maintain firearms, make black powder, smelt, and handload spent brass.

As such I AM YOUR KING BOW TO ME

I am a very good cook. The world needs cooks, so I will be set.

Also, I can box. Therefore I will also act as a bouncer :D

well right now i work at a pizzeria meating and occasionally saucing pizzas, but i dont do any actual cooking so that doesnt help, unless we take refuge in an abandoned Pizzeria

i am currently taking an outdoor education class however, i know things about tents, fire building, fire starting, cooking on a fire, things like that, but those could easily be taught to anyone in the space of five minutes

id probably be some sort of cook to be honest, seems like something id do
