Good jobs in todays economy?

Well, last Friday my dad got laid off from a job he's had the past 25 years. It was at a PVC injection molding facility. He's got machinist skills, but that's about it really. I'm not sure what his plans are in looking for a new job, but my mom and I think he should take some classes at the local community college. I know there is an aquaculture program with 100% job placement, but I'm not sure how that field is doing with todays economy. Are there any up and coming fields that will have decent job security in the upcoming hard times?

Yeah, it is truly ludicrous you can lose a job you've had for the past 25 years when you haven't missed a day in 10 years. **** this economy. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

Can't go wrong with healthcare. Only thing that sucks is you need quite a few years of education for the high paying jobs (Pharmacist is 6 years, Doctor is anywhere from 10-14 of school/residency depending on specialty, anesthetist is 6, but I might have spelled that wrong hah).

How old is he? Does he have a degree? He might be ****ed, unless he can get a similar type job that he had, or if he doesn't mind flippin burgers.
