Recession-resistant?
My job is with a company that does medical research peer review. We're also doing remarkably well in the field - it's an ooooollld field with lotsa stodgy crufty business practices - and we're now the 2nd largest company in the whole industry, basically by doing our job instead of watching out for profits - which, oddly enough, has given us record profits as well, as other companies have started using us due to our much streamlined practices. The peer review section isn't streamlined - just the part where we line all the paperwork up for peer review. Also, since medical research takes 10-20 years to complete, it tends to avoid all the ups 'n downs of the market. It does have it's own cycle - but business has continued to increase througout the entire economic downturn for us.
As for my wife, she's a Child Mental Health specialist for "medical coupon" kids - the severely mentally ill child population that doesn't have any money. Y'know, the kids that were raped by three of mommy's boyfriends and now go around burning down churches? The ones that our state legally HAS to do something about or else get sued for 10x the amount of what it costs to hire her, PER CHILD? ;)
In her case, we fear good times, not bad.
End of world rescheduled for day after tomorrow. Something should probably be done. Please advise.
