Most of such decisions we take have anyway been shaped by evolution, and society, to be efficient in promulgating our genes for another generation, so, in any sort of human society, the bottom line will always be the ability to put food and other necessities on the table. The only thing that differs according to locale is what that skill would be - hunting might be the most essential skill for tribal societies, for example, while in developed ones an investment banker might be preferable!
