I do not think there is a single field more interesting than programming today. I do not mean Developer, as in Java Developer, I mean programmer, somebody who uses computers to do what was not possible before. So I would still do programming, but more meaningfully.
Speculation here, the Einstein of this century will be a programmer.

Programming is a means to an end. It's like saying, the Einstein of this century will be a writer.
More than likely it will be someone who makes amazing advances in AI, or biology/health. They may also be a programmer, or merely leave that grunt work to their team.
