What's the future of software? lol There's your answer. You would always have work. Computers and software are going no where but up.

Great future. There are 2 kinds of testing.
One kind is plugging through the user documentation checking that the software actually does everything that it is claimed to do, and most mixtures of things, without falling over. You may need to work out some results from equations to check the numerical output.
The second kind is "wildcat" testing. You pretend to be an excited new user who has barely skimmed through the documentation. "I wonder if it can do this?" CRASH. You found a bug. About a quarter of bugs are found this way. The software developers will hate you, but it's worth it.

Software Testing is quite a challenging field. I have gone thro' it myself. A good s/w tester learns to mimic / behave like the end-customer & in the process needs to develop a sound know how of the domain & the application. Besides this, (s)he needs to get into the nuances of the product as a blackbox & drive towards customer satisfaction. At the end of the day, a well-engineered product is one which is very well tested as well. S/W testing is a lifelong career, IMO. Go ahead & don't be daunted by it.
