Occupations, businesses, or products that will thrive in the coming years

Although I haven't been laid off (yet) I won't hold by breath that I can outlast the coming depression and inflation. So as part of the preparation for it I am going to get a head start on retraining myself. Since there are a lot of forward thinkers on here I want to get some ideas about what direction to take. So if you have some thoughts about what occupation, business, or product will thrive in the coming years I will be grateful.

Aquaponics
Actually, I was thinking the same thing too, about possibilites. I still have a job, but who knows. Anyway, aquaponics is a combination of fish tanks and veggies growing within the same system, not using electricity and feeding each other continiously. I was thinking to try a couple and get good at it, and then in the future to sell complete systems, with tanks, the whole setup, fish and plants. But, who will be able to afford it? That's the question.
Procucts
Toilet paper, canned soup, deodorant, and fish.

I can make
deodorant...but not antiperspirant

I was thinking
about getting some generators and renting them when there are outages. Also garden tillers etc. to rent. People won't be able to afford them so I thought they might rent them. Problem is I don't know anything about engines to keep them in order. so I guess I'll stick with babysitting.

I have to go to my agreements with what Celente and Rogers have said.
Celente says entertainment, flea markets, and Main Street businesses will flourish.
Jim Rogers says that farming, food, and energy will be where the Big Money is made.
I think both are right...I also think as a fundamental that BEER and alcohol, and taverns, will be very profitable. I may start a tavern this year if the paperwork isn't too killing-oppressive.

She's making a killing and about to quit her job. LOL

A good friend of mine got a job by chance working at a mom and pop used appliance shop. He delivers appliances and are training him to repair them. He's gotten two raises in the three months he's been there. He says their business is booming. I told him he's got one of those jobs that would get him through a depression and he should feel very fortunate. People arent and wont be spending money on 800-1000 dollar stoves. fridges, washer/dryers anymore.
Just Google "Recession-Proof" jobs…
…and you will get more answers than you can shake a stick at. Here are just a few:
1. Health Care: Health services occupations including medical assistants, home health aides, physical therapists and medical records technicians account for close to half of the 30 fastest growing occupations.
2. Education: Teaching is generally immune to a shaky economy, particularly if you're teaching in an area with a high growth rate, such as the South and Southwest.
3. Energy: Anything related to alternative fuel sources, oil and gas and other energy sources will likely flourish in coming years.
4. Environmental: If you have "green" skills in sustainability and other environmental issues, you will be in demand.
5. Security: Police officers, international security experts and others who fight crime will still be in need even if the economy turns sour.
6. International Business: Working in another country, or simply being an expert about another culture or language, will work to your advantage during a recession.
7. Consumer Staples - things we need to have in order to simply exist and survive, no matter the economy. It is a good bet, then, that if you work in Consumer Staples, you will keep your job long-term in up and down economies and even disasters, all other factors being equal. Consumer Staples include groceries, health care services and products, health & beauty aids and home products like soap, utilities and energy, and a few others. Some professionals advise that bars and taverns will continue to thrive during recessions, as well as the use of tobacco. The first business to reopen in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina was actually a tavern that stayed open despite the water damage, located on the edge of the undamaged sector of the city.

Funny how 6 of these "recession-proof" jobs are in government controlled sectors. While they might be "recession proof", are they revolution proof?
We're beyond recession folks. Way beyond.

Revolution proof? Sorry, just too many sheeple for revolution…

BTW, I didn't make up the list. I really wish canning butter and making soap were able to "do it" for me. In Scandinavia, over 60% of the jobs are government related. Don't think we're headed in that direction?
I agree that we're way beyond recession. I sure won't lock horns with you on that point.

Scrapyards,
I have a friend who owns one and his business is thriving.
Generally, maintainence skills I would imagine to be useful
during times where "new" becomes deferred.

Think..
If people can't get loans to buy what they want, and are afraid to make expensive purchases, how do their buying habits change? I have a friend in the used car business who told me business picked up as the recession started and is now booming.

I am hoping tool and heavy equipment rental
My contractor business is non-existent as is most of the home owner business, but I am hoping folks start doing stuff around the house themselves. Stuff is always going to break, and hopefully they'll come rent the right tool to fix it.
I'm almost salivating over hyper-inflation, it will be cool to pay of everything with 2 days of backhoe rentals. In the short term hyper-inflation will be good for folks with fixed notes. I know that in actuality I don't owe crap, cause what I borrowed never existed in the first place, but I won't do my son and wife much good in prison.

There will be a need for people to get around, because they won't be able to afford the maintenance on their vehicles, or even be able to buy one.

Ron Paul was right
You could...
raise chickens and sell eggs...make candles...make soap (like me!) in your area. Learn all you can about herbs and holistic/natural medicine (like me again!).
I have been considering teaching classes on how to can butter, dehydrate meat/veggies and can them, etc because a lot of people do not know how to do these things now where as a generation ago, most of it was common knowledge.
I figure if things get really bad, then I can trade soap for a pound of sugar or flour or milk...etc.
It's all about taking your knowledge and skills and making them work in the situation.
What are you good at?

Great idea, GRITS. Teach people how to can.
By the way, I've never even heard of canned butter ... I who come from a good ole farm family which canned and milked a cow! Do you have any more info on it?
Sure!
It is basically making clarified butter and sealing it. It won't melt and it tastes pretty much like butter that you would spread on any piece of bread (not margarine) It will keep for approximately 3 years.
http://www.endtimesreport.com/canning_butter.html
My own advice for you...get organic butter if you are going to can it...or if you are going to eat butter period. If you cannot afford anything else organic in your diet, get organic butter. Butter is one of the most chemical laden things you can eat or buy...second would be meat.

Laundomat
Washers break and new ones are a big purchase. In hard times, laundromats always do better.
The "Green" economy is the real future though. Anything with dealing with renewable energy is going to do well.
