I dont think these high salaries will last because we are in the midst of a startup bubble with too much VC money chasing too few good ideas. Echo 1990s. However even if return to the 2004 scenario of 80K/100K that is still comparable to other professional careers and better than most college majors. So I'd recommend staying in CS if you like it.

The counter argument is that now that the entire world is on the internet (unlike the 1990s), the addressable market for tech is significantly greater than it once was. Maybe there isn't a bubble at all, or maybe even if their is a bubble in VC the value of a single good engineer is still really freaking high.
