Despite the economy being so down and shaky, some careers still managed to live up to expectations providing its workers/practitioners with high pay, job comfort, job satisfaction and job security even at a time where retrenchment is no strange thing in our society. When we talk about the best careers of 2009, we are talking about careers that are prestigious with little or high training possible, careers that provides job satisfaction to its workers and ultimately, generates the highest pay also even at a time of recession (which the world suffered from, for the better part of the year and is sadly still suffering from). We may not mean careers that are recession-proof, but we definitely mean careers that can pretty much hold its own whether there is or there is no recession. Here are some of the best careers of 2009.

Health care:

They can always be recession but one of the areas where recession does not make headway is the health sector. Many people are always vulnerable to sickness and that is a fact that can never be reversed whether by poverty, recession or what have you. The need for daily good health for human beings translates to ever-good careers to its practitioners and here your job satisfaction is guaranteed (that is if you are practicing in the field because of your love for human life). There are many areas of work in the health sector someone can get involved in and these areas are known to cater whether financially or otherwise to its workers against time. Take for instance an Electrical Technician in the health sector; he installs, calibrates and maintains medical equipments such as scanners, radio surgery units and this may require almost very little training, giving you a job that is in high demand just as the need to save life is eminent and daily; translating to good pay. Knowledge of computers is becoming more useful as time progresses and you can be a "cant do without" after only a two year associate degree. Physician assistants need three or even two years of post graduate education and with that, they can perform about 70 to 80 percent of the task of physicians and can earn up to "six figures" in salaries. Same for physical therapist; a career in high demand also, even as the old but "young at heart" tries their possible best to get young again. There is always need for things like hip and knee replacements and so many other body alterations which the physical therapist performs, giving the practitioner a career to lean on both financially
