Job Market in Programming

I just recently started programming, and I've found I have a knack for it.

Being as I'm going into college, and chosing a major, I just thought I'd ask what the job market for programming was like.  I mean, are programmers in demand enough that I'll never be out of a job, or is finding a job difficult? Is it a good choice of major?  How much is the salary usually for a good C/C++ programmer?

But implementing Serializable on things is fun.  It gives you a sense of satisfaction that lasts for as long as you don't think about the fact that you're not really accomplishing anything.  It's knock on wood.
