Get military training. It's a practical job skill, and if you can get into the ranks of bodyguards for a billionaire's island moutnain compound, you'll be set for your life once you all decide to leave him alone deep sea scuba diving. And even if your career does not reach those rarefied heights, your skills will be in high demmand during the apocalypse.
