“There is no such thing as job security. anywhere, any profession.”

I have to whole-heartedly disagree. I’ll tell you folks a little secret. I got burned in the early 90’s bubble bust in PA. Bought in 89, realized I could no longer afford the payments, and tried to sell. The only problem was my house was no longer worth what I paid for it, and I had no money to take to a closing table. Walked away in 93(Cramer would be proud). What did I do in the aftermath? I decided to go back to the old values, spent the next 12 years in training, worked my ass off, and became a physician. During the period I completely rebuilt my credit. You know what? It was all completely worth it. If that hadn’t happened to me earlier I may have jumped on the bandwagon this time around, and would have lost a whole lot more.

Now I’m an Obstetrician, and I find that when the economy gets particularly bad people still manage to find the time to perform just the very activity that tends to keep me in business!
