Depends on how much you like tech? Like most industries, it has ups and downs (dot com bust, 2008 recession, etc). Its just that 2012+ has been a really successful time for tech, and younger devs have never seen a 'down' cycle before. On the other hand, I don't really know a recession/depression proof career?

> I don't really know a recession/depression proof career? Government. Military. Academia. Crime. Also look for things that people need no matter what: food, housing, health care, fuel, household products, etc. Entertainment/candy/snacks/alcohol/etc., and luxury goods also tend to be less effected by economic downturns (the former because they make people feel better in spite of being poorer, the latter because the rich still have tons of money.)
