Many skills will be useful in a world after SHTF, but a writer, band geek or P.E. teacher probably won't find promising work in a world that now depends on firearms and farming.
The first trade you should learn more about is gunsmithing and ammunition production. If you know how to repair a firearm and manufacture ammunition many people will seek you out for bartering, which can turn into a profitable trade.
1) Gunsmithing and Ammunition Production
Experts agree that in any post-collapse emerging market, those who are equipped with the knowledge and tools to repair firearms and manufacture ammunition will be the most sought after for barter. This trade is also useful in light of the increasing restrictions put on firearms trade due to government control. This means the guns already out there are not likely to be replaced by purchase, rather people will be looking to repair theirs.
