"Hello,
I want to know if instructional technology or technical writing are
recession-proof jobs. I have searched the internet and read good things
about both fields in terms of the recession not affecting either career.

Thanks."



Recession-proof? Stick around this list for a while, and you'll see
that jobs in this field are *by no means* recession-proof. Though I'm
sad to say it, quite a few TECHWR-Lers have shared their layoff / job
hunt stories over the past year.

Anyway, it's hard to believe that *any job* is truly recession-proof.
