COBOL is terrible to work in. I was forced to take it in my MIS program in the 90s. We had the option of taking COBOL II or C Programming. Easiest choice I ever made (C of course). They touted how everyone would be able to get a job fixing Y2K bugs. All I could imagine was a job like Peter Gibbons. I wanted to work in future technologies, not those of yesteryear. Thank goodness the internet was taking off by the mid 90s, so it was easy to see where things were going.
