People cry "bubbles" every time hot money flows into a new field, much like those doomsday prophecies. The whole CS field has been declared as a bubble year after year on Hacker News, yet these companies are doing better and better. Even if it eventually pops, remember, the market can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent.
Besides, if a bubble exists and it will pop in two or five years, staying in school is worse than getting into industry now. When the bubble pops, no one will hire any new grads any more, but existing workers may survive the chopping block, and are far more likely to reenter the field when it recovers, simply because they have work experience.
