While people in certain occupations may be more likely, I think anyone with a sharp mind, tenacity, and the ability to persuade, could potentially become a warlord in a T2K situation.
Think of Tina Turner's character in 'Thunderdome'. It's been a while since I've seen that movie, but I seem to recall, in one scene, she's talking to Max & asks him what he did before their world went charcoal. Then she talks about her life back then, and as I recall, she was nothing special then (I don't recall exactly what). She was a "nobody", worked a crap job. Then, the "boom", and after that, she clawed her way to "the top", running Barter Town.
It's all about getting an opportunity, and being able to see the opportunity, and knowing how to seize the opportunity.
