Including everything that others have already stated about your friend's ability to be a hard worker who gets results, it's really hard to tell what will actually happen to the market.
You're talking about the future here with some many unpredictable variables. What happens if tomorrow the price of oil skyrockets and airplane travel becomes to expensive. That might result in less companies outsourcing so more in land jobs would be available. Or maybe the market structure and technology will change that programming as we know it today won't exist. Who knows.
Just try to ask if your friend even likes it. Maybe have him take a mixed IT/Business (think Management of Information Systems, IT Management etc). That's a blend of tech with business. Great knowledge to have because you can venture any way you want afterwards. Unless there's a recession/depression in which case most people are having problems finding jobs.
