My contrary opinion is that programming skills are one of the surest employment bets that a person your age can make. This is particularly true if you above average intelligence and enjoy the kind of abstract, puzzle solving work that is central to programming.

In addition to what you are already learning, think about adding the following. A decent foundation in Linux, PostgreSql,Javascript, CSS and Javascript. And, on the academic side take lots of math and statistics.

This combination will enable you to secure well paying jobs and if you have vision and a taste for risk this set of skills has high upside potential though creating products.
