Technical jobs are only good if the entire pyramid is stable enough to continue. But if it is, then they are the best, you maintain the most value.
The next choice would be a trades job, As for electrician, It is not a terrible choice. But I would likely select some form of steel/concrete work. welder/fitter/rigger can be very transferable. Carpentry is more important that one knows.
I think the most depression proof skill set would be small scale farming/ranching
Bad skill was rancher/farmer in the great depression. They caused the great depression. The Great Depression started from the dust bowl. The dust bowl was caused by farmers changing traditional farming methods by expanding agricultural land, huge fields, much bigger, and using non traditional fertilisers. They hacked away at the land, deforesting, and changing it. Temperature soared, drought, and the dust and plagues of insects. Great depression followed. Vicious cycle. More farmland needed to make money. More dust and more crop failure. Bad skills.
Today it might be different. Except big droughts and insects hitting farmland presently and last year in the Mid West, West, North West?
The idiot down voting should study history.
This is absolutely incorrect. There is no basis at all for this false claim.
The farmland and its output had no relationship to the great depression at all. The great depression was an economic event associated to the stock market, it was preceded by collapsing businesses as the profit was extracted at a rapid pace, leading to costs of good exceeding consumer spending and further business collapse, eventually making it to the stock markets.
All the while, food production was sustained at acceptable levels.
The farming at the time was not some huge conglomerate and much of the food people ate was sourced much closer.
No, the 'dust bowl' event had nothing to do with farming practices as evidenced by the fact there was a significant series of events weather wise that led up to it. Primarily a clash between cyclical systems is the best explanation.
The fact that much of the area of the globe also experienced sever temperature shift is just more evidence. It was the sun, not man.
I know you are a complete warmist and believe all the bullshit about co2 being capable of warming the planet. Soon, you will gather enough information to correct the errors in your mind. There is no significant warming, nor has there been. Man did not create the dustbowls of the 30's and only simple minded people with lack of information would choose the accept that.
Small scale farming and ranching is your best path to self sustaining in a collapsing economical system.
Shut up. That is not the way you address anybody.
It had everything to do with the Great Depression. Less traditional means of fertiliser. Like the fucking horse. All those cars. They expanded farmland rapidly. Expanded the fields, bigger they're using tractors. Temperature rose it wasn't entirely global either. But there was drought. There was insects and there was the dust bowl. It caused a viscous cycle. Where the shit kept going wrong. Yes the dust bowl caused it. Farmers caused the dust bowl. The temperature didn't help. But crop failure was due to changing methods.
Now fuck off.
lol, eat shit dumbass, It is like you have no recollection of prior conversations. This tone has already been reached, I was about as nice as once can get with the dumbass ignorance you spread with your fear mongering wef lies.
You know nothing at all about anything, go ahead and blame shit you have no idea about. Your claims are useless drivel, made by imbeciles yet you choose to parrot that dumb shit even today.
It is retarded. You need mental health help.
