I agree. Sure, I keep hearing all these studies saying that millions of tech workers will be needed in the next ten years along with the same amount of nurses and health care workers.

Now, with the state of the economy right now, I can tell you this. Businesses can cut back on tech workers when times are bad, but people can't stop being sick. So, the way I see it, the medical field is a pretty safe bet...lol.

To answer your question, Computer Science would be the degree you want. As far as languages, well, your school will determine those. You will be pretty safe knowing C, C++, and Java because most schools will teach them, and a lot of jobs require them. You can move from those languages pretty easily to others when needed.
