Trade and Other Specializations

The TMB Trade list needs more specializations; I have a number, and additions are welcome. Note that some may be more appropriate for Arts or may be best used in conjunction with another skill.

Nice list! However, some of these skills may be subsumed in others:

Librarian
Curator
Clerk

These professions are probably subsumed in the Admin skill.

Pharmacist (May require medical skill of 1 or more)

This profession would probably a combination of Medic and Life Sciences (Chemistry).

Hunter

This profession should probably be subsumed in the Survival skill.

Cameraman (as in movie cameras, unless this is either holography or photography)

This should be a specialty of Art - maybe Art (Photography).

Teacher (Either school or university)

There is an Instruction skill in Mercenary.

Guard

This should probably be a combination few skills: Gun Combat, Recon, and maybe Melee (Bludgeon) for a nightstick and Computer (or Sensors) for operating security systems/cameras.

Maid
Launderer (as in someone who does washing)
Cook (covers Baker and Butcher)

They are probably already covered in the Steward skill.

Lab tech (can use sensors)

This is probably a Science skill, probably combined with Computer and/or Sensors.

Nurse (Can be used with Medic)

A "Nurse" is probably someone with Medic 1 or Medic 2 and maybe Steward (for high-class care).

Interpreter (Must know native language and one other at level one)

This is probably already covered by Social Sciences (Linguistics).

Electricians are a type of mechanic.

I'd subsume them in Engineer (Electronics), though simpler systems (such as car electrical systems and so on) would probably be covered by Mechanic as well.

Gun Combat allows a minimal form of Armory, mainly field stripping and cleanging.

I agree.

Has anyone honestly used a calligraphy specialist in a Traveller game?

I'd like to see YOU suggest some Trades and some Arts!
