• Blacksmith

• Bounty Hunter

• Cartographer

• Engineer

• Innkeeper

• Mummer

• Soldier

• Trader

• Vinter

These would also be my faves. Cheers!

A gatherings professions are really good to keep the town stocked.

A profession that is normally overlooked in survival-ish type games is cooking. High level cooking in most games provides really good buffs. Having food for different seasons, like food that will keep people warm, wake them up, or keep their energy high could put your town on the map.
