If you look at that list of jobs-at-risk, all IT/software dev jobs are at great risk or have gone offshore.
I work for a Fortune 500 company that does both hardware and software. They see their future customer base in China and India, so they’re setting up offices offshore that include sales, R&D, QA, tech writing, and graphic design depts. Not to mention the salaries are cheaper.
Many of the depts here have lost jobs, as they move existing positions offshore, too.
They are also acquiring small software companies, many of which already base their R&D offshore.
Project mgrs (with PMP certification) and higher-ups with MBAs have a better chance of surviving for a while longer. But even some MBA programs are requiring that US students reside in China or India for a time. Some companies (Cisco?) are moving US managers offshore.
My suggestion to you is look elsewhere, espcially if you are new to the field of IT.

So you work for IBM?
