By Victoria Steeger Things change.  Economies evolve. Businesses come and go. A very small number tend to survive through the generations, and it’s unlikely even some of the biggest names in business today will make it to the next century. There’s not much that can be done about it, and when change happens, jobs change, too. So, what should you do to make your job, your career, “bullet proof”?  The first thing is that you need a career that has upward mobility, so that you can grow into new jobs as things change. Below are two career fields that are considered “bullet proof”. **1. ALLIED HEALTH** - According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, employment in healthcare occupations is projected to grow an average of 18 percent between 2016 and 2026, a rate much faster than the 7 percent job growth expected for all occupations combined. For example, [Medical Assistant](https://cpi.theknowledgebase.org/connect-live-in-person/catalog/healthcare-and-allied-health) careers are predicted to grow by 29%.  Several options in the Allied Health field are [Medical Assistant, Medical Administrative Assistant, or Pharmacy Technician](https://cpi.theknowledgebase.org/connect-anytime-online/catalog/healthcare-and-allied-health), and as the field changes, you can grow your job into a career that only moves you up, as far as you would like to go! Some quick stats… By 2020, the total number of jobs in all healthcare fields is projected to be [more than 21.8 million](http://www.bls.gov/emp/ep_table_201.htm). Regardless of which allied health profession you pursue, you can expect the following: - Job Security in a growing field that won’t be going away - High compensation and benefits even during economic downtimes - High reward from helping improve other’s lives ![](https://news.protrainedu.org/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/Screen-Shot-2019-01-22-at-9_55_55-AM.png?width=341&height=341&name=Screen-Shot-2019-01-22-at-9_55_55-AM.png) **2.
