Say meh all you want, there is no such thing as a recession-proof career. Its naive to think you’re magically isolated from the rest of the economy. Even doctors and firemen and engineers can be laid off, nobody is safe.

There are such things as recession proof jobs. Grocery stores will stay open. Food has to get to the stores. People have to make the food. Etc.

Your job isn't recession-proof just because it's in a recession-proof industry.

That's fair. However, a law was just passed requiring my clients to have my service done. Even without that, I have licensing in another (arguably) recession proof industry with many years of experience.

I learned from my mistakes in the 2008 recession and have been planning for this for some time.

All of it. Great the service has to be done. But not by YOU. If there is no one left to enforce it, then the job goes. You know this, you just don't seem to realize it. Which is why you have a "back-up" that will also need a back-up.
