<p>We are currently heading towards a recession and it won't be the last. "What jobs are" best to have? Healthcare! But other then that, what jobs are relativley safe from both outsourcing and recessions. Doctors and pharmacists seem to have it made they will probably never have a hard time finding a job, but what do those people (like myself) do when we can't take the sight of blood. Pharmacy is a very extroverted profession, and I'd like something not so extroverted.... ""best jobs?</p>
<p>Government economist…</p>
<p>There will always be a need for educators.</p>
<p>How is pharmacy an extroverted professions?</p>
<p>How are we heading towards a recession?</p>
<p>Pharmacists who work in retail and hospital settings must have good interpersonal skills because communication is their job. Even the schooling requires learning through interaction with others. </p>
<p>How are we not heading into a recession?</p>
<p>Apparently accounting is always $$ making, even in a recession. Lots of numbers involved but the jobs are steady.</p>
<p>I would think civil engineer would do well in a downturn in a government job.</p>
<p>Well, during a recession, escapism is especially prominent, so a job in, say, a casino would tend to be recession-proof. However, to a lesser extent, a computer scientist might also do well for the same reason.</p>
<p>There was a news article on this recently.</p>
<p>They said teaching is the safest</p>
<p>This is especially true for New York City, we can use any educational benefits we can get</p>
<p>Having a parent as a public school teacher, I would vehemently disagree, k1man. My mom’s department has to <em>cut</em> two teachers from its already-limited staff.</p>
<p>But if you <em>are</em> going to be a teacher, be a science teacher. A math teacher can teach pretty much anything, from geometry to calculus. A bio teacher can’t teach chem, though, and a chem teacher can’t teach physics. And since most sciences have labs (meaning those teachers can’t have more than 3 classes), they have to keep more science teacher. <em>Getting</em> a job and then keeping it until you have tenure is the hard part.</p>

<p>Wake up and smell the coffee the recession has already begun. That’s why they’re doing the economic stimulus checks.</p>
<p>Zamzam- Not true. My chemistry teacher also taught physics. One math teacher also taught physics. Another teacher who was the earth science teacher also taught a math class. </p>
<p>SOOO not true.</p>
<p>oh yeah? wanna hear something even weirder? my last year in high school, this new teacher was an art teacher (drawing). the year after i graduated, he became the new physics teacher when the old one had retired. i have no idea how he was though, but the old physics teacher is probably just as bad as replacing him with an art teacher.</p>
<p>umm w.t.f.</p>
<p>we won’t really know for sure until we get economic data for the first two quarters</p>
<p>there won’t be no recession, just growth at a sluggish pace</p>
<p>AJH: your teachers are <em>supposed</em> to be licensed to teach stuff. One would be hard-pressed to find teachers willing to get certified (which includes extra classes for which the school may or may not pay) in more than one general subject area.</p>
<h1>13</h1>
<p>If you have to wait for data to be released to tell us we’re in a recession, you’re an idiot.</p>
<p>“zamzam” you clearly don’t know what you’re talking about. It’s incredibly common for teachers to teach multiple subject areas especially when they’re related (like different sciences etc.)</p>
<p>I want to say that over half the teachers in each department teach more than in just one subject area. Even the language teachers juggle 2 languages.</p>

<p>^^^ haha!!</p>
