Most secure career choices?

With the digital age, the world is changing and many jobs are being phased out but how many will be safe forever and be able to whether this storm?

This thread is kind of knee jerk reaction to the ESPN layoff's but countless people are affected every day by this kind of thing. I've never been laid off by a big corporation (always been in the car biz for past decade) but have been let go because of politics and other dumb poo on a couple of occasions. Granted if you're good in the car biz and can stomach staying in it, seems theres always a job for you somewhere.

Recently I saw HHGREGG falter and are now closing all of their stores. Sports Authority did the same in recent years. I imagine Best Buy isn't fair behind and these are just the first examples of box stores that come to mind. Many more circumstances of other business's going under or having to lay off tons of people. 

Also, I never understood how Bill Voth was making money via BBR and he obviously wasn't making enough to continue.

Any general thoughts regarding the topic?

Plumbing and similar trades seem to be fairly reliable. A skilled plumber makes a lot of money, and there is little chance of being replaced by automation.  

If I knew then what I know now I would have went to CPCC and studied a trade like plumbing or electrical and a business associates degree.  Would have ended up with the same or more money, and a more satisfying career. Those jobs may evolve but they are not going away anytime soon.

Came to post something similar.

Welding, Electrical, Plumbing, Construction, HVAC, etc....aren't going anywhere.  They are tough, hard jobs, that pay well if you own the company.

Toughest part is finding reliable help.

If I was HS or college age I would be looking at healthcare field.  Those baby boomers will be getting old soon.  Ways to get involved in many ways

+1 on learning a trade like plumbing or electrical, especially if you're a go-getter and get a business degree and run your own show.

Public school teacher is pretty secure as well. If you're an average teacher or better, you can stick around forever. Lots of places are just looking for warm bodies at this point.

    • I wanted him to take over the hornets next year. He's a hard ass and I don't know if that works with 18 year olds that are getting paid. He's a good coach though
    • I mean, dude, come on. There is a huge difference between the two in only one word: explosiveness. https://www.nfl.com/prospects/kc-concepcion/3200434f-4e04-6719-61ea-f84c4a062c16     https://www.nfl.com/prospects/corey-brown/32004252-4f35-6941-7d1f-17d92e3e6054 From what I've read, Concepcion is a very explosive, twitchy, dynamic receiver. His problem has been some drops over his career; some he has to own, others have been questionable throws by the QB.  Greg Cosell said that Concepcion may be the most dynamic receiver in the draft. Steve Smith is generally positive. There have been other, perhaps less known, analysts who are more critical, but even they love everything he does before and after the catch. Concepcion gets open!     Is Concepcion perfect? No. But he does have room for growth. He's much better than a nondescript Philly Brown.
    • Here is what I see (and you can determine what it means):  Seems to be a lot of early-round attention at WR and LB.  At WR, the Z-WR (off ball, lined up on TE side, goes in motion a lot.  Can cause mismatches) seems to be the focus.  We really don't have one with Coker or XL.  I have a feeling that Concepcion or Cooper are high on the board.  This tells me they are going to grab a WR early--probably in round 1. Linebacker is most obviously and certainly the second round pick.  Rodgriquez, Hill, or Golday. The fact that there is no contact with a Center is interesting, but there are guards.  Chase Bisontis is an interesting name that stands out.  Carver Willis is a short-armed OT that could be a swing T, G, or....C.  He is very good at run blocking.  OT?  If we are drafting a T early, they sure are keeping it close to the vest.  Visits do not mean interest--it could mean they want a closer look.  Still, No top OTs, No top Centers--what is going on?  This is going to be interesting. Safety--This is interesting because the talk is that Smiith-Wade might move to FS-but that does not explain why the CBs on this list are unimpressive.  The Safeties they have listed are day 2 players, fwiw, and both were 30 visits. Edge--bottom of the roster guys. If I were to guess, based on this, here is what I would wager:   There would be a high probability of a trade back from 19.  Watch a team moving up for bama QB Simpson. Round 1: WR--Concepcion and Cooper both project to late first rounders.  Both are perfect fits for the Z WR (the WR that is not on the line of scrimmage outside the TE)  We don't have that guy right now.   I think we think the offense opens up with a strong Z WR.  MHS Prediction:  Cooper. Round 2:  LB--Hill, Golday, and Rodriguez are second-rounders.  One of them will be a Panther.  If we trade back, we could move up for a S.  MHS Prediction:  Rodriguez. NOTE: Bisontis (C) and McDonald (DT) are wild cards--if either drop in round 2, we take them and move up back into the second for the LB.  If not, we draft the LB and move back up for Haulsy (S) so we have 4 starting-caliber players on days 1 and 2.   Day 3: TE (Delp is my guess), OT (Travis Burke is my guess), CB, and DT.
