Believe the Occupational Outlook Handbook?

I read something like this about the industry, and it seems to just leave me more confused. Differing views of "the industry is dead" or "no it isn't as long as you're good". Pointy-haired bosses and management shitting all over technical staff.

What do you think, /prog/? Is the CompSci field dead, or is it still good to go into? How "good" do you have to be, exactly? What fields are actually still "safe" from outsourcing, which might still be fun (or at least easy)?

You have to be good enough to awe people with your 1337 skills, generally. Whether the know about the subject or not.
Software Engineering for a small company is always an option. They, at least, aren't so likely to outsource employees. You  can also become a database admin, if you've got the experience. Working as a programmer is a bitch, though, so don't do that.
In any event, computer science isn't a bad field of work, but it sure ain't the gold mine it used to be.
