Without highly automated, industrialized farming, majority of people's occupation will be food production, as it was most of human history.
And post apocalypse labor shortages would mean nobody will be growing food for you, so you most likely need to do it yourself.
If I survived and was industrious, I would start making tractors to sell, instead of twiddling with Forth.

Plenty of time to reboot tractors.

- saalweachter 4y agoI wonder how many working Windows computers you can pull out of the typical landfill.

- AstralStorm 4y agoHeck, you don't really need tractors, these can be substituted with manpower. They're a nice to have more than a must. What you will need, however, is someone to maintain waterways and water treatment facilities, and the necessary components. Can't count on rainfall being sufficient or wells being clean. This comes with maintaining the power supply and electronic components thereof.
