Most scientific and engineering skills would also be useless if civilization collapses. For example, I am a scientific software developer. Most of my work has been for medical research, which is something people tend to respect. However, I wouldn’t be able to do anything useful with numerical modelling in a survival situation. My limited skills as an amateur home renovator would be far more relevant.
Also, isn’t plumbing a technology? Or does it have to be in the Civ VI Technology tree to be recognised as one?
I know Agriculture and Animal Husbandry is
I find it amazing that finance, sales, etc are held in such high regard when it’s science and technology that advance society.

You misspelled plumbing and agriculture.
I mention farming below. Plumbing, well depends on population. We can shit in the field like we did for millennia. It’s just fertilizer.
Also a Cholera breeding ground. Which is why for centuries more people died in cities than were born, despite having no access to contraception.
That’s where the science and technology comes in.

Which are technology and science, respectively.
