Is mathematical finance a great field to get into?

PB asked:
I am thinking about getting a MS in Mathematical Finance after undegrad. Would I be more sheltered from layoffs than other financial professionals seeing as mathematical finance is heavily technical/analytical. It is basically economics/finance - heavy mathematics - and some computer programming ability. Math finance people are the ones who mitigate and manage risk for financial companies and investments.
