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)?

Do you have to get a job as a developer though? Everything I read about says programmers get shit all over by pointy-haired management.

I was thinking more along the lines of security, with a M.Sc in Computer Science and a Minor in Mathematics. Maybe become an Ethical Hacker (i made a separate thread about that subject). It seems like the one way I could stay with just computer science instead of double majoring for Bioinformatics (with biology) or with Electrical Engineering for DSP or something like that.

Could that work?
