Medical; sadly there are always people who are sick as well as on their way out. They will always need to be treated.
Legal, not really an "industry" per se; There are always people committing crimes. There will always be a need to defend/prosecute them.
Alcohol; Economy good, people will ALWAYS want to drink and celebrate. Economy bad, people are always depressed.
They may be stable, but that doesn't mean that they are good career choices for long term income potential.
I know plenty of lawyers and doctors that have no personal/family life due to long hours worked. Many of them are struggling to keep their heads above water with rising insurance costs and high debt to income loads (particularly in the first 3 years after graduation).
