Areas that require anything hands on is safe and growing. IT Project management appears to be doing well here in NC as well.

Do you have any other examples of IT jobs that may be safe?

You might consider video game related jobs if you have the interest. It's a growing industry, now bigger in revenue than Hollywood movies. Because of the creative/artistic aspects it's one of the few computer related jobs that have not been taken over by Indian workers.

The best advice is do what you are good at and like. Don't chase a job just because it is high paying. It might not be high paying tomorrow.

Any job combining IT skills with deep and specific knowledge of a given business area should not only survive, but thrive. Business intelligence is the best area, though it requires a broad skill-set and is hard for newcomers to get into.

But if you're pure IT, better pack your bags for Bangalore or Shanghai if you want to keep working.

Not really. There are lots of jobs but problem is technology is changing and what is “in” is also.

There aren't any.
