I'm working in possibly the only growth industry the country has right now - representing banks in foreclosures. Besides doubling in staff size over the last 2 years, we've also tripled our client base. Yay economy!

No, I'm not an attorney; I just work for them.

Wait...what does/did your brother in law do?

He works for a distribution company. He delivered kegs & cases for a long while, but got promoted recently (3 months ago) to a position where he basically cleans keg / tap lines.

I work for a wine and spirits company, i'm not too concerned about job security. People are happy? they drink to celebrate! People are sad? They drown their sorrows in booze!

I have the ultimate job security.

I don't go in, so I can't get in trouble. I also can't be fired. I still get paid, just not a lot.

I am less likely to get laid off before others because I am more visible to higher-ups and put in long hours.

However, if the industry as a whole crashes, then no company = no job.
