Whats the 'safest' job in a recession??

afterglow_2

What would everyone think are the safest jobs to be in during a recession,
debt collectors (boo) will probably feature, but what others, doctors, nurses, teachers, who are going to ride out the recession without job worries?!:rolleyes:

Anything government related has to be a reasonable bet doesn't it? I will admit i don't remember the last recession, although the world is no doubt a different place!

Oil rig workers.

Without them the country would come to a stand still, we would starve to death if not freeze first.

The police force, without them the country would be in anarchy and we'd all become victims of crime.

A lot of people would die without the medical services.

A country the size of Liechtenstein would invade without defence.

Politicians, without them, we well......Hmmm.....Wouldn't be in this mess to begin with.

There are many ''safe'' jobs, im sure we can go on all night about the importance of some professions.

Its about the 44th thread of this type in about as many days

I hope you're right. For the first time in almost 20 years my husband is worrying incase he's made redundant - but he says even if he is, he's sure he'll find something else.

Lights switcher offer.

Last person out, switch off the lights.

This thread reminds of this joke.

One day, all the human body parts started arguing about who was on top… The mouth said, ”I should be on top because, without me, you wouldn’t be able to eat.” Then the stomach said, ”Ya but if it weren’t for me, you wouldn’t be able to digest and transfer all the minerals and vitamins throughout the body, I should be on top.” Then the heart said, ”I should be on top because I’m the one who takes the blood from point A to point B. Without me, the body would die.” Then the brain said, ” Well, without me, you wouldn’t be able to move, eat, digest or allow circulation of blood, so I should be on top.” Now, the bottom hole (!) was beginning to get annoyed, ”You know, I should be on top because I can just shut my hole and then poo (!) will accumulate and block the digestive track and screw all of you up.” It was chaos, everyone was yelling and fighting. Finally, the bottom hole (!) got fed up, ”That’s it, I’m fed up, I’m shutting up my hole.”
So for a few days, the body couldn’t poo (!) and the brain had trouble moving, the stomach digesting, the mouth eating and the blood flow going, everyone was begging the bottom hole (!) to open up, The brain said, ”Please open up, you made your point, your on top, just open up.” The bottom hole (!) smiled, ”So everyone agrees that I’m on top?” ”YES” everyone shouted. ”OK!” so the bottom hole (!) opened up and the body could poo (!) again. The moral of this story is, you have to be an bottom hole (!) to be on top…

Crikey, that was a lot of censoring.

I'm sure the Pension Protection Fund administrators will be rather busy.

Military. They're always the first to be paid as they're the ones that can really ruin a politician's day. Do you think Brown wants to wake up to this?
