If you can, try to make your career choice first and then your technology choice. Do you want to work at a social network startup? A mobile gaming startup? Do consulting work? Have your own side projects? Get a cushy job with 9-to-5 hours at a financial concern?

Being a mobile developer is certainly a choice with a future, but you have to decide if a) those are the types of companies/consulting work/independent projects that you can make a career out of and b) how ready you are for the device/platform rapid iteration that should continue for the foreseeable future.
