I'm sure all of us have felt the hard blows of the bad economy and I have a feeling that its not about to get better in the near future. Its apparent that something needs to be done but unfortunately we don't have too much power over that. I myself have been a stay at home mom for the past six months, and even though i love being with my son all day I know something needs to happen to bring in a little (hopefully a lot) extra. I've found a few recession proof careers and decided that it will probably help some of you. Also anything in the field of health care is recession proof and some of the careers don't require too much training such as Certified Nurse Assistants. A lot of nursing homes will train you to be a C.N.A and you can make you to $15 and hour, possibly more.
