Computer science rocks - be it security, database administration, software development etc... You'll never go wrong with it as long as you're competent. Don't tell me you can't find a job, it's because you can't do the damn thing!

And need I mention that computer engineers get paid as much or sometimes more than computer scientists?

What happened to blogging, web developer, Make up Artist, Photography, Plumbing, Carpentry, Tailoring? This are careers you can start on your own with little capital needed, less overhead costs as you dont necessarily need to have an office.

Lets all move from the "conventional" employee mindset to the entrepreneurial mindset.....even if you wont do it for the government, do it for yourself and your family.
