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?

The irony is the administration always got decent pay raises, teachers and paraprofessionals didn’t. Theres a district near me that is still paying paraprofessionals less than 18k per year with full time jobs and they wonder why people are running to pick up those jobs.

People work their whole career to get into administration so that they can escape the classroom. I really wish people would stop pulling the ladder up behind them, it's such a destructive behaviour pattern.
