Last night I saw an interview with the US Treasury Secretary and one of of the "DOGE bros", Sam Corcos. He is tasked with modernizing the IRS's computer systems. Some of the highlights included him saying that this modernization has already taken place at most banks, and that they're hopeful to do this in the government with roadblocks gone.
I bring this up to you, as a 14 year old, to think about your future career. You have 8 years before you're out looking for work, then 45 years, give or take, in the industry. What is the likelihood that these COBOL systems will still be in place vs. finally being replaced? Yes, people have called the death of COBOL for years, and they were wrong, but one day they're going to be right.
