How important is your coverage group?

I heard some advice from a professor that healthcare is the best sector to cover for an analyst job. He said that healthcare will always be fucked up so there will always be a job there.

My question is how important is that? If the energy sector is straight sucking does that mean an analyst that covers that is in trouble? It makes sense if the companies aren't doing well that there may not be much action going on, but I am just a little confused.

And what are your guys opinions on what coverage group is going to be the most solid for someone who would be an analyst in two years?

Thanks!
