If the SHTF, what educations will be the most valued

[GoldFinger]

What benefits do you imagine Blacksmithing will have in this scenario? Also, the other part of the rules was that you have to be able to obtain a BA or BS in the field. Can you get a BS in Blacksmithing?

Stu, I think you read it wrong. He said that it can't be education any higher than a BA or BS.

There was a minimum stipulation as well though, or else a Navy Seal training would qualify.

Here we go:

The educational field must be a field that one can get a higher education in from an educ stu is right ational institution. Consider the maximum level of education is a BS or BA. No masters or PhD level degrees. Navy seal doesn't meet this criteria, but a Gunsmithing cert would. Be realistic with the educational background.

You mean being a "Jungle Expert" doesn't get me a slot????


Damn!!.

I may get beat with a pickup truck for this, but another talent I coud see valuable (at some point) would be someone fluent in World History or.... Politics. Now before you throw the truck at me let me, think about the value of creating "order" and estabilishing commerce with other communities. Of course this would be a TEOTWAWKI, worst-case, scenario where your talking a breakdown of society to small communities. You'd probably see a long period of survivial of the fitest, but eventually cooperation would settle in as a better means of advancement for all communities. Hence, value in people familiar with historical trends and emerging politics.

Ok, throw the truck
