My hope is that this this post can serve as a good place for people to look if they are still not sure what they want to do or are interested in growing their skill base as an entrepreneur.

Regardless of difficulty, what are some skills that you think bring the most value to the table and are the most empowering as a result?

I am not necessarily asking for THE TOP SKILL!!!, just skills valuable in our current economy that will probably appreciate with time.

The obvious one to me is programming. Less obvious - skills in construction and perhaps regenerative medicine seem increasingly valuable.

What would you guys say are some of the most valuable skills to learn within the coming years?
