throw your money at bullshit and youll have a job that pays bullshit.
how is the older people going to afford health care if they can’t get jobs?
franchise

What about a Plumber?
We all use plumbing everyday!
Live in China or the Middle East, seems like the only economies with money to spend out their.
Isn’t nursing actually being outsourced, though? (Don’t ask me how – this is what I’ve heard from nurses.) Accountants are hostages to the recruiting firms, and they protect each other’s turf, so it’s hard to quit one job and get another. Education is not a good prospect right now – that I know!
Are there any other fields of recession proof jobs?
Programming is recession proof. I am a programmer, and all my fellow programmers found a job within a single month.
Well, if you live in a country that doesn’t suck as hard as the US, you get health care for free.
how about, take whatever money you have, go out on a shopping spree, and find a job that you like and that your qualified for, or a job that is MOST like you, that you are qualified for.
that goes for all of us.
and instead of having a machine gun to guard your fridge, try actually sharing.
I volunteered with Angel Food ministries the other day.
thats how to get out of a recession, im telling ya.
its not very complicated, but it DOES take a population to get us out.
all the fucking politics in the world aint going to get us out of the recession.
politics can really only do so much, people have to own up to the job too.
education is not recession-proof, ppl are having LESS babies these days, meaning alot of schools are getting closed down from lack of kids. teachers r over-flooding the market because the B.Ed wants to cash in with the booming University/College business. I guess, alot of ppl are returning to school, not by choice, but because they r UNEMPLOYED!
@anaerobe alot more ppl are also becoming teachers because we have a more-educated population with minimum of a Bachelor’s, and we all realize we could TEACH!
plumbers, electricians, sanitation workers, healthcare (of course), truck drivers etc

Education isn’t recession proof… when tax-base goes down, funding goes down for public schools. For private schools, there is attrition as their enrollments shift to tax-funded public schools. I was pursuing a Masters of Arts in Teaching, and put it on hold indefinitely, when I discovered school layoffs were exorbitant as their budgets were cut 20% this past year!
