Recession-Proof Careers
I was reading an article on Channel3000 about recession proof jobs and found this excerpt interesting:
While no job is totally secure, there are some that are still in high demand, experts said.
At Madison Area Technical College, many students are coming back to supplement their education after a layoff. Some switch fields altogether, and many are flocking to information technology and health care careers, which offer a wide array of options.
“Now, our programs are really getting pushed,” said Alfonso Studesville, a career counselor at MATC. “With the number of applicants for health career jobs, there’s a huge need.”
When it comes to recession-proof jobs, health care has been heralded as a savior.
“The health care professions are well-built,” said Terry Webb, vice president of MATC. “People can start at a basic level and work their way up to our nursing degrees and the university level.”
Careers in information technology are also high in demand, and mixing a technical career path with a health care education could create the most in-demand job of all, WISC-TV reported.
