You misspelled plumbing and agriculture.

Most scientific and engineering skills would also be useless if civilization collapses. For example, I am a scientific software developer. Most of my work has been for medical research, which is something people tend to respect. However, I wouldn't be able to do anything useful with numerical modelling in a survival situation. My limited skills as an amateur home renovator would be far more relevant.

At least you can analyze problems logically and break down complex procedures into small, manageable steps.

SharePoint admins are really fucked.
Anyone building a system that's similar to what they're used to, in a post-apocalyptic society, would be laughed at, then shot.

You're a software engineer. You at least know the very basics of digital electronics, and can probably work your way backward to rudimentary power supplies.

You are far from fucked.

Mathematicians though? Oof I worry about them, if they did anything too practical they'd be physicists.

But if you were isekaied at the start of the apocalypse, which, let's be honest, is more likely than you surviving until post-apocalypse, you could become a monster magician!

On the other hand, if the apocalypse were Skynet...

Best typo ever.

How will you know your velocity and whether you're swagged high or not?

A few competent project managers would probably help things quite a bit, actually.

Having a single point of contact for several disparate teams of people doing real work so that they can actually do that work, instead of spending extra time in endless meetings arguing over the best way to implement something that requires multiple people's input is a valuable tool to have.

Think of them like a tank in an RPG, taking all the meeting hits that would otherwise decimate the effectiveness of people actually putting the real work in.

Sorry to disappoint, but landlording as a profession is the likeliest to thrive in a post apocalyptic medium.

I just found out that my landlord doesn’t have a job besides the income from properties. Fucking parasite still won’t fix basic shit

Screams in IT

City planner here:

"I say 'No.'"

I make powerpoints.

A very USA-centric comment. While it is true that countries that were former colonies have their roots tied to those imperialist projects which definitely involved finance, this is not the case for countries that didn't start as colonies. The sweat of the subsistence farmer or the feudal peasant/slave was what built the foundations of most countries.

In a truly post-apocalyptic setting there definitely would not be any need for finance of any sort. Job titles such as the one in the meme above are bullshit jobs that only exist to serve modern consumer capitalism. That is to say, they are not necessary. That's what this meme is about in my opinion.
