I had similar thoughts and this was 10 years ago. Aside from the reason I gave above, I was also concerned that in the future not many programmers will be required. 4G programming and software like Visual Basic (at that time) were making the job more and more automated and easier. I thought after 10 years we will have very low number of actual programmers left.
While I think there are proportionately very less number of programmers left who do core level progamming these days (actual C, C++ and Java..not talking about assembly language here); I was wrong about the IT aspect. Specially, security and networking has gotten even better than what it used to be.
Anyway, I am no longer in the field and am in management field now, without going too much into it.
