Pharmacy
Regardless of the economy, people will still require medical attention and prescriptions, as illustrated by BLS figures, which estimate employment of pharmacists to grow by 22 percent through 2016.
Narinder Duggal, clinical pharmacy specialist, internist and medical director of Liberty Bay Internal Medicine, explains, "Not only will people always need medicine and health care, but there are even more medications today. People need help understanding what medications they take, any possible reactions and interactions with other drugs or supplements."

"One of the biggest benefits of taking a career in pharmacy is the variety of opportunities," says Duggal. "There are many different sub-categories or branches such as retail, clinical or hospital pharmacies. There are government organizations, economic pharmacists, those that work for HMos or healthcare insurance companies like Blue Cross."

I'd be alright either way
