Top 25 Jobs to Reconstruct Civilization After Catastrophe

In the event of TEOTWAWKI (the end of the world as we know it), our main goal will be to go about our daily lives. But you should not only get ready for this to happen, but also for what will follow. People who lived through it will have to rebuild their areas and, finally, the whole world.

After a terrible event, standard money and school certificates will not be worth anything unless they are useful for living in a way similar to the 1800s.
