The job market in CS is cyclical, with a roughly 20 year cycle; we are now at the point where supply will start to catch up with demand; 'everybody' will study CS, and in 4-5 years we will have a glut of beginners and bad programmers. But, having experienced the bust of 2001-2002, I expect that, even at the bust, it will not be that bad. Also, programming trains you to think mathematically and analytically, so it is easy to move to a slightly different function.
