New Do you feel...
1. You keep "working yourself out of a job"?

and/or

2. You're going to eventually work yourself out of a career?

I think lots of current IT workers see #1 but not #2. I wonder how many will hit #2 soon and be surprised by it; i.e. they don't see ossification in their own skill set. If not because of technology passing me by, I can at least see working myself out of a career out of sheer boredom. ;)
Many fears are born of stupidity and ignorance -
Which you should be feeding with rumour and generalisation.
