While it may be true that many jobs are being outsourced to other countries, you have to look at the types of jobs these are. Things such as tech support, application maintenance, testing and debugging, customer service, and the like. These are not what you call high-growth, high-paying jobs.
If you have experience in the field and develop new products, then there isn't as much concern. You want to develop products where the customers are, and most are not in these outsourcing countries.
One thing I have learned over the past 2 decades is that there is a neverending demand for software. It is almost unquenchable. The only problem is that creating good software is such an outrageously time-consuming ordeal. Even the best programmers do not necessarily have the desire nor the commitment to create software correctly.
However, this is not true for providing porn over the web. Anybody can do it. Everybody can do it. In fact, you have all kinds of assistance to help you do it with free hosting, messageboards like this, free scripts, support groups, free webservers, and more.
How could anyone make money for long in an industry that supports so many people entering it? If you look at any successful software company, they try to make it as hard as possible to get in the field, not easier.
