On the short term (5 to 10 years) this is pretty much the same feeling I have toward this subject.

I have a feeling the low-skill plentiful careers available now in programming/development are going to disappear. I wouldn't be surprised if it's nearly over night. What company would continue to pay millions of dollars a year for wages when anyone with basic English will be able to do their job? I'm not worried about the higher skilled engineers yet. I'm worried about entry level positions.

Even if those positions don't disappear, I imagine there just won't be many new entry positions, companies will already be over staffed.

I'm saying this as someone that started to learn programming wanting to do a career shift. I was interested it my whole life but went a different direction, and I'm bored and feel at a dead end in my career. I was started learning web development earlier this year but feel like it's a wasted effort. It'd be 2 years before I finish learning enough and trying to land a job, 2 years from now I feel like that job won't exist.
