Shouldn't everyone? I'm self-employed. My job security is as good as knowing I'll be called back because my skills-set is still in demand. And if not in demand by one business, I'm quite sure it will be for another firm.
I'm sorry for programmers that rode the white-collar wave hoping for the new version of the fiction touted as "job security" that rolled under their unionized blue collar progenitors of 20-30 years ago.
Like the automobile rivetter making $20/hr was able to be relaced by a foreign national for $2/hr if not an automated machine, the $60K programmer loses out to the $6K programmer, because that's what the job is worth.
Most programmers went to college and have educations. With a little bit of enterprising and initiative I'm sure the best of them will figure a way to make a profitable life out of what they were trained to do. They may be surprised by what they ultimately do, even as I was, but if they work from themselves one thing is for certain: unless they are schizo, they won't have to worry about the boss walking up to them someday and firing them.
