There is a thing called work that many people do. It takes some time away from classes/study, and can suck, but can also provide money you need. Check it out.;)

If the code that does this is compiled in to class files then at least the person would have to decompile this code. But if you make it so that the code even under decompilation is no good, such as by using PGP or some equivalent to decrypt where the private key is in a secure location, that would be better.
This of course won't work in all cases, in general in order for you to not have your job replaced by cheaper labor you have to be worth the money. I.e.,
* have/finish your degree * keep up with the latest technologies (including keeping up with your certifications) * try to keep your work experience in areas not just good for the company but also good for your career (i.e, if you are an Oracle DBA and your boss wants you to start writing Crystal Reports for a while, start looking for other employment) *do a good job (it's amazing how many people don't) * don't complain about stuff at work unless you have a better way and have presented it to the appropriate people who can make the changes (and even then, don't complain because you'll just sound annoying) * be nice/easy to work with * work a few extra hours here and there without being asked when appropriate * when possible and without sounding arrogant, try to make your boss(es) understand the value you bring to the company
And if all that doesn't work, vote for Democrats;)
