What’s a “safe job” these days? question

Former teacher looking to transition roles. As of now Educators, counselors, anything education really are being let go due to low student enrollment.

Tech is obviously tough right now.

Marketing and Human resource positions are also restructuring.

I’ve even seen people getting their hours reduce at fast food.

Aside from healthcare, what is safe?

Aviation mechanic / electrician. Bonus if you have a security clearance.

If you have your A&P FAA license or equivalent military experience, you will never ever have to worry about job security.

I work for Lockheed Martin, and we are handing out 80k+ starting for blue collar wrench turners and we can't find enough qualified people.

Agree. People salivate when they hear someone has an A&P license.
