Is your area of expertise/profession useful in a post apocalyptic world?

One of the points raised in World War Z was the role reversal experienced by society. Previous high earning professions like directors, corporate executives, accountants etc were next to useless whereas plumbers, electricians, farmers etc were valuable sought-after skills. How useful/applicable are your current skills?

Oh dear, the first thing that springs to mind is a quote from George Bernard Shaw "Those who can do, those who can't teach."

Read a nice extended version of that one recently:

Those who can, do; those who can't, teach. Those who can't teach, teach teachers.

Not your ornery onager
