what profession would you say is least at risk for redundancy?

cm1179 · 31 Oct 2011 at 20:00

i'm thinking banking, doctors and solicitors or are they just as susceptible as other industries?

Damn it. The first reply, that what I was going to put.

Grr.

banking isn't one I'd be thinking of at the moment

Be self-employed, you'll never be made redundant...

In keeping with the old adage... Tax advisers are reasonably safe, and tax collectors very safe.

Trouble is, the boss is usually a right arse.

Doctors, unless you do something stupid like prescribe the wrong drug that severely affects the patient or touch the patient inappropriately.

Even solicitors can be made redundant. Plenty of firms closed down due to the recession, predominantly firm who rely a lot of turnover in conveyancing.

receivers I would imagine it's a growth business.

Anyone in the financial side of things, IFAs, Accountants, Tax advisors etc.

If the economy's going downhill, people want their money managed well, and seek advice. The same for when its on the up.

Any central government civil servant (Whitehall bound) is a pretty safe number.

Any profession suffers from redundancy. Best advice is to be indispensably awesome at whatever profession you are in, and you're very likely to be safe!
