    well a few of those make a lot of sense, but i don't know for sure if the admin and business development ones are really all the recession proof. if you think about it, people will at times forgo the admin if they can't afford the person on the staff, and the biz development - well that's kind of up in the air.

    You generally need a Master's to be a social worker. A Master's in social work. It's not just paperwork and counseling isn't just "talking." Same thing with BA-level counseling, in which you will probably work in a place where you are underpaid for the work you want to do.

    Oh, and you need a Bachelor's in psychology for that, which really doesn't give you any counseling experience.

    Bad example of a "recession-proof" job, savvysugar.
