He didn't know how to sell himself, then.
I've seen job postings here in Uruguay that pay 4x the average local programming wage for anyone that knows COBOL decently (about U$ 3000 monthly)
He might even be willing to relocate here for that money (you can live princely here with that much). It was for state telecom company ANTEL, last year (I learned some COBOL at university, but not enough) .
- kragen 16y agoIt might not be hard for him to relocate to Uruguay; he lives here in Buenos Aires. But he might have other problems that are at the root of being a COBOL programmer (e.g. lack of interest in new things, lack of aptitude for programming, I have no idea) and he was about a month away from retiring anyway.
