What is the safest field to be in?

<p>Medical, Business, Engineering, IT, etc?
You decide.</p>

<p>Medical, easily. You won’t get laid off unless you make a mistake.</p>

<p>I suppose that it varies.</p>

<p>I’m thinking nursing. People will always be hurting themselves in some way.</p>

<p>Government bureaucrat. The only growth industry for the foreseeable future.</p>

<p>Water and funerals.</p>

<p>^lol</p>

<p>anything medical related will remain strong</p>

<p>gov’t is always the safest. consistent and reliable jobs with room for increase.</p>

<p>Does safety include the difficulty of getting in? Because you could easily find yourself getting rejected from every med school you apply to and with no real backup.</p>

<p>Well safest as in you wouldn’t lose your job. </p>

<p>Theres always the Caribbean Med Schools lol</p>

<p>I don’t think medical is that safe. You might get sick if there is a sudden epidemic or something like that, and you might accidentally get cut with a scalpel. I don’t think government bureaucrat is that safe either, because I was reading about the Soviet Union in the 1930s and tons of their bureaucrats died.</p>

<p>I think selling cars is probably safe. Nobody goes after car salesmen. You stay on your own property and only bother people who come to you.</p>

<p>I thought this thread was referring to safety as in bodily safety :confused: I’ve been watching too much military channel…</p>

<p>^^ haven’t you seen that episode of King of the Hill? =o</p>
