I’ve been thinking about this for a while. My view is that the software-is-eating-the-world theory is essentially correct and so demand will exceed supply indefinitely.
That of course doesn’t mean the jobs will be as well paying as they are now, but I am not worried about lack of opportunities, barring a major recession.
And software skills will still be handy in the next career if worse comes to worse. There is great job security in being able to spreadsheet, for instance.
