recession proof jobs.....

______________________________

with news about job cuts nagging you every time you open
your pc/tv , how can one not get affected?

Especially if your work is
dependent on an
export-driven economy like KOREA,
one can't help but wonder----
AM I RECESSION PROOF?.......

I ask myself from time to time, better be ready than sorry ayt?
The current global financial turmoil is a proof that nobody is
safe, no job is secure, no country is not vulnerable.........



_____________________________

maybe it's better for us to educate ourselves then:
According to yahoo, here are some of
the recession free jobs, careers in the following fields may offer
a good chance of weathering a storm this year.

* Education.
* Energy.
* Health care.
* International business.
* Environmental sector.
* Security.

__________________________

Well, I am an education if you will. But Korea is expected to enter recession this year as are all other ASIAN TIGERS----Singapore, Hongkong, and Taiwan already had----an achievement in itself.

That puts us ESL teachers on shaky ground and my friend Marvin who still works in the same public school I taught for 3 years is encouraging me to go back. For the sake of stability.
I gambled August 2007 when I gave up my permanent item and I am ready to go on with it since life is about that.

Simply put, life is a gamble you lose by not playing.
Then again---it pays to be prepared and extra careful~~~~

    Education is one of the sector who still have a lot of positions. They said it'll be a good chance but of course when those engineers, etc. become the teachers, how about those students who really studies to be a teacher?

    Unfair.

    Anyway, welcome back to the education system. It must good to have you back in something which you really master of.

    I wonder if Dental and Insurance companies will also be affected by the recession, right now, I work for a dental company (remotely/homebased) as an insurance coordinator for them. But then, I don't rely on the economy of this world, I have been struggling for how many years (you know part of that) and my children and I survived every turmoil.

    Even though Im in Health Care it is actually still not safe. No job's safe these days... Maybe "secured" temporarily, but if the fundings stop, our jobs will also go dead.

    I would regard a government servant as recession proof job, at least for my country.

    im sure korea will be affected by this but not to the point of backing out of ESLs because the philippines is still relatively cheap for education.

    but again we don't know. anything can happen.

    true.
    one better option is engage in business. regular should only be a back-up.

    Me, I'm just grateful that I have a stable job during these toughest of times.

    Nothing wrong with staying on the safe side. Specially for you, with your plans in the future.

    Nasa Healthcare field ako.. so I guess in the years and years to come, walan namang sigurong recession na mangyayari at hopefully all nurses eh makakapagtrabaho here and/or abroad.

    As for your future plans, so far, you really need to think about "It pays to be prepared and extra careful."

    cheers pusang-gala!

    im just wondering if we could also be a Korean Tutor not for english subjects but for Technology...

    nag-apply ako dati sa Korean School sa alabang, I got accepted as a Chemistry and Algebra tutor pero di ako pumasok ng 1st day.... lolz


    pero I doubt kung affected ang tutors from 3rd world like us, mas mataas ang bayad sa native tongue, sila una mawawalan.

    never lose hope pusang gala :)

    we're here in Singapore and just like Korea and some other countries, sobrang affected din kami. some of the people i know here were laid off at marami rin ang nahihirapan na makahanap ng trabaho [isama mo na ko dun]

    siguro at this point in time, all we need is faith; hindi lang sa andun sa Itaas kundi pati na rin sa sariling kapasidad :)

    Lahat dito sa mundo hindi permanente. Life is what we make it din. Basta may talent ka, i-pusue mo at hindi ka mawawala at mahuli. Dapat marunong ka rumaket. yung may kabuluhan at pinaghirapan.

    Lately, nameet ko yung high school classmate ko, sabi niya kapag tapos na ang contract ng husband niya sa middle east hindi na niya pababalikan pa. Bumalik na lang siya sa pagtuturo. Mahal da daw ang pasahod sa public school.

    it pays to save and to be prepared for the rainy days. What most governments lack is a buffer for the current crisis.

    PG, wag ka mawawalang ng pag-asa. Sa dami ba naman ng Koreans dito sa Pinas.. kahit saan yata ako lumingon may Korean eh. :)

    No one is really safe these days kaya we should be preparing ourselves when the "recession" thing has hit us. Aja! Aja!
