text: aside from healthcare, what others careers are secure/stable?   the only stability you can find nowadays in a career is to be the best and most flexible performer that makes the business successfull.  keep your skills current, always keep learning, and be ready to roll if your position gets changed or cut.  good places for stability are things like utilities (water, power, phone), food service (waitress, cook), home repair (contractor, carpenter), and other things that people need all the time.
