One of the things I've learned from talking to people here at Rothera is that having a trade (as distinct from a profession) is much more useful in more places. So for example, plumbers, electricians, mechanics, builders and carpenters are all capable of doing those sorts of jobs all over the world, and that there are many places in the world crying out for them to do just that. I would recommend the following list of professions for surviving in a world of decreasing technology:
- hydraulic engineer (in places where wars are not being fought over oil they may well be fought over water) - electrician (particularly with knowledge/experience of autonomous systems and alternative energy) - mechanic (even with rising oil prices the internal combustion engine will be with us for a long while yet) - textile worker (even with global warming and relaxing social attitudes to sex, people will still want clothes and tents) - ceramics worker (making stuff out of clay is low-tech and very useful) - farmer
