since i dont have a job right now that would be a definite no

I don't feel that I really have to worry about job security. This job is not one I think I'll keep in a few months anyway. As for what I aspire to be and I'm currently at a tech school to be, an R.N, I feel that there is job security. They need them, and they'll bend over backwards to get them.

Absolutely. I'm Primary Caregiver until either my husband or I die.

Yes. My company had lay-offs last year and does not plan any more lay-offs.

Not really.

Nope. I am a freelance graphic artist. So my job ends whenever the work is done. I am fortunate to work quite steadily for the same company. But right now, they are evaluating whether or not to keep the graphic staff in-house or get rid of everyone and go outside.

Hell no, that's why they invented resumes.

Hell, I did before 9-11-01, but then all kinds of people in all kinds of businesses started getting laid off...so...I dont know anymore.

I don't work but my husband is a truck driver for 34 years now and I no longer feel any security. These companies are going bankrupt same as other companies.

For the most part I do. But working for an NPO is this funding climate is no guarantee

Yup. There will always be a need for teachers!

Yes,
because I have been at Bank One for 2 years (my anniversary date was Sept.
18th) and their stock has been fluctuating from $35-$45 per share since
the economy went crazy on Sept. 11, 2001.
Their financial resources are good and they have bought a lot of other
credit card companies and other banks (I work for their credit card division,
First USA).

Yes. I'm in the biotech industry. I don't think there will ever be a shortage of people wanting to do research to cure diseases.
Triana,

Austin, TX USA
Seeing as I work for a university, and I'm pretty good at my job, I don't think I'll ever be fired, since a lot of people trust me. When I get out of college, I'll probably have pretty good job security (esp after getting a phd), since who would fire someone with a PHD in physics?

I'm a contract programmer. The only security I have is in the quality of my skills.
