Consider the long-term usefulness of artisans and craftsman. We will need skills in areas such as leather working, basketry, pottery, paper- and candle making, weaving, etc. And artists may be as useful as entertainers in the long term (they also may be helpful in drawing maps, building plans, or keeping any type of visual record, etc).

Yeah, I admit the arts are one of the only skills I have to offer!

Excellent posting. And just to add, Just because we say that you need these people, doesn't mean you can't take the responsibility now during these times of Z-peace, and learn these skills. I got French, Spanish, Russian, and German under my belt. Also at the same time, (inspired by the zombies 100 percent in this) I have started taking classes at the local community college in radiology, and nursing. I have zero interest in going into the medical field, but I am practing, not preaching.
But on the the second point, afew more suggestions
Chemists-Cause I am guessing no one here knows the difference between the periodic table numbers of salt from magnesium.
Teacher-Cause just because your the bigshot leader, doesn't mean you know how to teach kids trig or steps of proper teaching.
Seamstress-Have you ever tried to make a shirt from needle and thread? Not as easy as you think.
Pharmacists-These people differ from the medical section, cause they aren't docters. Most of them have no medical training. But they know thier pills.
Entomologist-You wanna know if that spider can kill you, or in survival situations, if that big fat beetle is safe to eat, right?
Sailors & Divers-What? You think you aren't going to have to cross water. Little known fact, but over 50% of America's bridges are a C rating or lower. That means that they can basically fall at any moment. Not even the Brooklyn Bridge will last longer than 7 years without proper maintaining.
Entertainers-You want people to follow you? They will do so only if they enjoy the thought of it.
Architects-You know the structual intergrity of steel compaired to iron? I think not. But these guys do, and when your building your bases, or pimping out your rides, these guys are going to be the ones you want designing it.
Firefighters-They don't just fight fires. These guys are trained for chemical and biological accidents.
