Many years from now, programming will probably be a very different profession, if it even exists. Better software development tools for gathering requirements, modeling systems and code generation will start to reduce the opportunities for individuals writing code, instead demand for System Architects and Business Analysts will grow. To me, the long term career choices are obvious: Systems Architect or Project Manager, but for the next ten years, being a programmer will be a very profitable career that will blend nicely into the new design philosophies of the future, you just need a little initiative to stay on top of the technology before it gets on top of you.
