Is Your Job Recession-Proof?
    Career company Jobfox just released a bit of good news for those of you in IT: 
  Your jobs are relatively safe. In fact, you may want to ask for a raise. 
According 
  to JobFox, IT and software development are among the 20 professions the 
  company considers recession-proof. 
Now, pushing aside the fact that we're not technically in a recession -- it 
  just feels like one -- this is good news indeed. (And here's a little hint from 
  the editor in chief of Redmond magazine: Our upcoming salary survey has 
  some more good news!)
Here's the rundown: Software development and design positions are the second-most 
  recession-proof career. Systems and network administration is No. 6, business 
  analysis related to software implementations is No. 8, database administration 
  is No. 14, and being a tech exec is sweet 16.
