I really want to get a job writing COBOL. However, nobody will give me a chance at it. I recently applied for a few jobs in my area but they wanted 10+ years of COBOL so I was turned down. I learned in college (however would need to re-learn) and I really enjoyed it. I also enjoy financials and data. If anyone has any thoughts I'd appreciate it. I'm currently writing c++ software for making robots work, plus I have financial industry experience.
