I graduated in 2002 and at the time people were really scared about outsourcing. I chose to go EE however. At the time what scared me was actually that my college education would be useless. I saw too many 13 year olds being invited to conferences, friends who never went to college becoming software engineers, etc. So I picked a field where I felt my college education would be an advantage.
In the end I got the CS masters anyway and now I realize that neither is really a threat and, despite what people say, the degree was very valuable. Depends what you do with it I guess.
