If the World Ends, Do You have Any Useful Skills?

I can go extended periods of time without requiring much nutrition or even water, I can get from one point to another without much trouble, whatever obstacles might be in my way, I can remain positive and joke about everything and I know a lot of (varyingly useful) different stuff, much which could save my life in many different situations... But I'd still be amongst the first to die, because I would be too damn lazy to put all that to use. xD
im pretty good with a gun or a bow and have enough survival skills that if i was dropped in the middle of a forest with nothing i could either survive there indefinitely or find my way out
all thats well and good but being over weight and having extremely bad knees id probably be a detriment to any group i was a part of since mobility is key in an apocalypse

I'm capable of producing offspring. That's not really a skill, though. I'm a musician? People have always seemed to need musicians. Umm... I can also build stuff. And cook food.
So really, I'm only useful to me.

I've spent two months working in a Canadian Space Agency research lab focused on growing food in controlled environment systems for space travel, so... yeah, I think so. I mean I hope to be even more useful when I more thoroughly build up my skills as a scientist, but I'd at least have some basic ideas of how to grow things if the world ended and we could no longer grow crops in the traditional way.
Well I'm a boy scout who has learned a few tricks about surviving and soon I will be sent to Basic Training for the Military. Well I guess I will be one of the defenders of a group and maybe a leader I don't know. But when the world does end I will hopefully survive just as long as this end of the world situation doesn't include having the entire armed force being destroyed. If that happens well then I'm screwed.
Hmmm, well, I'm good at hiding, I guess? So if this apocalypse has monsters in it, I can get out of trouble Amnesia-style! Oh! And I can play the violin. You know, it helped that old woman in Fallout 3 get free things from the traveling merchants xD That's assuming my violin survives the apocalypse, though.
I'm a decent shot, teach people to shoot(I'm told I'm a good teacher. Who knew?), good with my hands(building, fixing, tinkering), I can cook(decent food can go a long way towards morale), I can carry lots of stuff, decent cardio, and I'm good at making plans.
I'm a fairly little guy (5'8" and about 125lb), and pretty good actor, so I guess I could convince threatening humans that I was too much of a useless, sniveling coward to bother with. Then after they turn their backs they learn that I'm a very good shot and that I know martial arts. Loot corpses, live comfortably.
I can (sort of) use a bow and anything that stabs.
I can also climb (some) trees and make a basic shelter out of scavenged material.
I have good leadership skills but no-one would listen to me and would probably end up dead too soon to regret their decision.

I can put 5 shots in a dime from 50 feet, Build a shelter from foliage, spent several years as a patrol leader, I know how to purify water and which parts of an animal to eat.

I can do MATHS and ELECTRONICS and PHILOSOPHY and COMPUTING
Yeah, I'm fucked unless you want me to figure out angles, whilst building a simple logic circuit, after explaining several ways of using binary, then predicting what some philsophers might say in that situation...

I can sprint pretty fast. And I like to think I have fast reflexes, but it's not like I've gotten into a bunch of fights and know how to handle myself. I'm a fair shot with a rifle, too, but once again, I'm not a regular shooter.

Actually, fun fact, if humans died out, cockroaches would either die out with us, or at the very least take a SIGNIFICANT population drop. Do the math:Rawne1980 said:
Cockroaches depend on the warmth and shelter of human dwellings, that's why they're attracted to them.
Cockroaches also eat our garbage.
No humans means no houses or garbage, so no shelter, warmth, or food for the roaches.
OT: As for my skills, I'm a black belt in Aikido, so I can defend myself if need be, and I'm an Eagle Scout, so I've got basic survival knowledge, as well as basic knot-tieing, first aid, and camping skills. I'm sure I'd find a place somewhere.
