Like healthcare and government jobs, they are recession-proof because we'll always need teachers (and public schools are government-funded). Even in a recession many people turn TO education (community colleges, training programs, graduate school) so there are still opportunities for those in education. Degrees or certifications don't limit you to careers in education, if you do have trouble finding a job or you decide to switch paths, you'll be able to do so.
