Ask HN: Is Computer Science too specific?

Some background: I'm currently in High School getting ready to apply to college. I've been set on CS for a while though I've been met with criticism from my parents.

PG wrote about the idea that it is better to stay upwind. This is the argument presented to me as a case against computer science. I've been told that the skills that I will be taught will severely limit my long term success if I decide to pursue CS. How much truth is there to this argument?
