#5: "Work" to Ensure Job Security

If you currently work in an industry that's on its way down — or if you're concerned about future job security for ANY reason — consider a career change.

Look at industries that will thrive for years to come, such as health and technology. At the same time, steer clear of problem industries — including construction, real estate, banking and retail ... just to name a few.

Once you've decided on your new path, further your education with courses and seminars. Your current company may even cover your educational costs — so take advantage of it!

And don't forget to network, network, network. One day, those contacts will come in handy!
