That's probably the most insightful answer I've seen in a long,long time. We tend to ignore the human side of the tecnology business. In fact young people usually wants to change the word, at least to find a pleace in the world for them. There are a lot of support and maintenance positions available to junior developers, with a huge rotation because once they've learnt enough they want to build stuff. COBOL might be a proven, old, technology... which means maintenance is important. New stuff must be build with a lot of legacy in mind, and you'll inherit legacy mistakes that worked and cannot be fixed unless you overhaul a huge amount of code. That's not even sexy enough for senior, gray-haired developers; but helps pay the bills.
