When you were younger and were asked by an aunty or uncle what it was that you wanted to be when you grew up, it is likely a vet, a member of the police force, a firefighter, or an astronaut were featured somewhere on the ever-changing list.

Now, as an adult, you may well have stuck to your metaphorical guns and are reaping the rewards of your dedication. Alternatively, perhaps you followed a completely different path altogether and are now looking to change careers for a more financially secure lifestyle.

If this sounds like you, then continue reading to be aware of the top five careers for job security. 

1. Dentist 

Dentistry, whether working as a dentist or a valuable dental nurse, is a field of medicine that allows for more freedom of movement than with other healthcare roles, as opening a private dental practice is substantially easier than opening a doctor’s surgery. 

Obviously, no matter how ‘Star Trek’ modern society becomes, every single human being (unless they are particularly unfortunate) will at some point have teeth and therefore, require the services of a qualified dentist and dental nurse. 

2. Cyber Security Roles 

Next, you will not be surprised to read that, with the virtual takeover of computers, the internet and computing-related technology has resulted in many potential criminals turning to online means of extracting money than from physical shops and businesses. 

Cybercrime is a serious, and worryingly, increasingly growing threat—not only to large national and international companies, but also to innocent members of the public and now more than ever, businesses everywhere are all crying out for more experts to help fight cybercrime. 

3. An Oil and Gas Engineer 

One of the leading career pathways and indeed, industries as a whole, that will always require qualified, dedicated, and skilled workers and managers (and therefore, is a prime example of an area providing job security) is that of an oil and gas engineer. 

Take a look for yourself at the job descriptions and potential working locations that the plethora of oil and gas jobs available have to offer yourself, and you will see not only how in-demand such roles are, but also how absolutely crucial they are to modern life. 

4. Chefs 

No matter who you are and where you are from, you have to eat! This is why chefs always have been, and will continue to always be in demand—and therefore take the next position on the list of the top careers to provide comfortable job security for the long term.

Fortunately, there are numerous different pathways into a career as a professional chef and there are many hugely successful chefs around the world who never took their academic career higher than completing their high school education.

As long as you have a love for everything food-related, and a huge amount of passion and dedication, you will succeed! 

5. Human Resources 

Finally, even though there are computer systems and software programs that have already been developed to ensure the hiring and firing process of any size or kind of business is as streamlined as possible, no computer program can ever judge, for example, how a new employee will fit into the current team dynamic.

The beauty of pursuing a career in HR, then, is that no matter how sophisticated the technology around you becomes, human beings will always be needed.
