The ability not to freeze when encountering glassy eyed, shambling, irrationally violent horde means most bartenders will be fine, as they deal with this every Saturday night.

4) Taxi Driver

Knowing the back roads and shortcuts of any modern metropolis could be the difference between life and death should the streets become choked with motile corpses. Besides, taxi drivers don’t like to use an ounce more fuel than necessary, so are perfect for hoarding this precious resource.

5) X Factor Judge

Possessing the uncanny ability to turn any situation to their immediate advantage no matter how much the odds are stacked against them, make Estate Agent’s nature’s born survivors. Plus the willingness to eat their own children if there’s a sale in it could help them blend in with the undead.

A world in which only you exist? Kanye is already there.
