Why is it that the careers that seem to help get us in to a recession are almost exclusively omitted from the lists of careers that withstand recessions well? You don’t see many finance jobs available these days. It seems the bankers and hedge fund managers and mortgage brokers are all looking for jobs in the same market that has banks going under, funds losing money hand over fist and mortgages being foreclosed upon. Luckily those of us who are just trying to make it through the recession with a semblance of what we had when it started can still find jobs in other markets. Some of the best markets to pursue right now are health care, energy or utilities, education, police & fire, alcohol, and debt management. These are areas that people can not cut back on much or that people tend to increase their use of when times are hard. People tend to drink more alcohol when they are stressed. Police don’t have many layoffs because these times also see an increase in crimes like theft and burglary. While no one wants to have to consider career changes late in life hard times call for hard choices. People who are willing to move from one industry to another will find it easier to adapt to changing economic conditions than those tied to one industry.
