Worried about the future of finance career

Junior at top target school pursuing a quantitative major (think math, statistics, applied math, computer science, etc) going to intern this summer at a UMM/MF PE firm. I've started to become worried about the future of finance, and I was wondering if anyone had any opinions about how secure my career will given my background (or just how they foresee my future). I could always pursue a graduate degree in my field of study if needed and move into a highly quantitative job.
