The job security + paycheck might be justified though. Almost guaranteed small team too.

- vxNsr 11y agoYeah, I know someone who had a consulting job for some obscure IBM mainframe "thing" and she basically got to do whatever she wanted with an amazing salary because she was one of 3 people in the world who knew anything about it.
- yitchelle 11y agoThat is really "niche", but I wonder how transferable her skills are? in case those IBM mainframes becomes obsolete :-)
- BillinghamJ 11y agoThey're already very obsolete. Doesn't mean the support contracts will go away though!
- dagw 11y agoThere's very good money in being one the very few people in the world whom are really good at "obsolete" things.
- vinodkd 11y agoTPF, if you're one of the 3-4k people worldwide who still know it, pays very well. Yes, they will be small teams, but in the largest travel companies. Disclaimer: I could be wrong about the number above, but afaik its in the ballpark.
