I want to find industries and roles that are stable even during economic downturns. Help me identify recession-resistant career paths. Ask me about my current role, industry, experience level, key skills, and education. Then ask about why stability matters to me, my salary requirements, and location flexibility. Also ask what trade-offs I'm willing to make - lower salary, less exciting work, government/non-profit, or additional education. Help me identify: 1. **Top 10 recession-resistant industries** with explanation of WHY they're stable 2. **Specific roles within each** that match my skill set 3. **Historical performance**: How did these industries do in 2008, 2020, and other downturns? 4. **Trade-offs**: What do I give up for stability (growth potential, salary ceiling, excitement)? 5. **Hybrid options**: Industries that offer BOTH growth potential AND stability 6. **Skills that recession-proof any career**: What capabilities are always in demand? 7. **My best options**: Given my background, which 3 paths make most sense? Be honest about the trade-offs. I want security, but I also don't want to be bored or underpaid.
