With the aging population of the baby boomers, health care will continue to be busy the rest of our working lives (I'm assuming you're older than 30). Check out the website job postings of hospitals in CA or in TX or, for that matter, anywhere. They're hiring like crazy.
It may not be "bullet-proof" but healthcare certainly is recession resistant. And the number of folks in the healthcare education pipeline is SO underwhelming! They will be in need for years!
If you can skate for 2 years on savings, you're in a perfect position for this economy. Others are diving out, getting their MBA's, you can get your RT and when the economy comes back in 18 months then you'll be ready to pick and choose where you want to be.
I have 22 years in another field, so I envy your flexible position.
