As crazy as it would be to learn COBOL today, I've heard you can pretty much name your price for these sorts of jobs. They're definitely out there, too -- I saw one job listing in 2014 for a postal worker credit union that was looking for someone to pick up rudimentary COBOL from a pending retiree so they could still support their system.

- mk89 10y agoIndeed. A friend once told me that while he was studying Spring (years and years ago) his friend decided to steer toward something else: COBOL. Years later this guy is still dealing with such a "tool" - only difference: object oriented cobol - lol!
