The demand for software engineers has fluctuated up and down, in
various industries and regions, for decades.  An article in the
current Business 2.0 on the 'coming labor shortage' points out that
you are part of the first generation in America to be numerically
smaller than your parents generation.  In ten years, when boomers have
or are retiring, there will probably be a relatively shortage of tech
workers.
