Even though it's likely that a SHTF situation will make televisions, computers, and other electronics difficult to use (especially if most all get destroyed), eventually they will be rebuilt and repaired. Today you can learn how to utilize solar-powered chargers, so there's the option to use solar energy to recharge people's electronics. Also, find electronic spare parts you can store and have on hand post-collapse.

4) Electronics Repair

As was mentioned before, the reliability of electricity after a collapse may be dubious, but people’s reliance on electronics will continue. Small radios, televisions, and even food dehydrators will continue to be used and will need repair eventually. If this is your chosen trade, consider widening your field of opportunity by obtaining and learning to use solar-powered chargers to recharge people’s batteries and other electronics.

Farming is yet another skill set you can't afford to miss. Before you say no, think of the fresh produce you'll be able to trade profitably with other people. Making fresh food could become a very promising career that you can learn more about after the break!
