The recession has been hard on the timeshare industry to say the least. However, the industry is showing resiliency, despite the economic challenges of 2009. There are still timeshare opportunities for timeshare management, timeshare sales, and timeshare resales. And experts say that the timeshare industry will produce even more jobs as the economy recovers.

Nowadays, there are even college courses dedicated to the timeshare industry. In Lynn University, Florida, students can get a Bachelor of Science degree with a specialization in Vacation Ownership and Timeshare Management.
