It seems to be all the same story. People talk about these huge pays and guaranteed jobs but the average developer is already getting a huge pay and has no problems finding work. The pays for COBOL do not even look that compelling and you are walking down a dead end when these systems finally modernize. I wouldn't touch cobol for anything short of $300k and the promise of enough work that I could retire within a few years.
