I think nursing and health care is a recession-proof profession. DH should be just fine.

Nursing will be fine because of the severe shortage of nurses throughout the country. The rest of the healthcare industry is by far recession proof, like most of the other jobs. XRay techs, Medical Assistants, etc are being laid off just like everyone else unfortunately.

DH is the Parts Manager of a Chevy Dealership - bad bad times. He won't get laid off, but the money isn't there. If people don't fix their cars - he doesn't get paid. He's looking into going into HVAC.

Law enforcement jobs (including the support divisions) are pretty much recession proof.

Most jobs that are around today will still be around in three years. Even mortgage brokers will still exist in 2012

Law enforcement is preety much recession proof but if the olcal or stae budget the support often goes first and they keep the front line officers. But there are alot of regions that are growing and hiring any trained law enforcement including the feds.
