Where do you live cooker
Just finishing COBOL II this semester.. Had two years here at college and about 3 in high school at a Vo-Tech.. You could say I'm well versed in the archaic language. Wonder how much it pays, couldn't see going from an ASP programmer now to COBOL, talk about falling back about 30 years..
I bitch all the time about having to learn a language which hasn't been updated since 1985, but a LOT of companies still use it. From insurance (Erie Insurance is heavily dependant) to manufacturing it's still out there printing checks and reports.. It's a great report writer, that's about it..
Also, forgot to mention, if your fluent in COBOL you can pick up SAP's ABAPI language used for customizing the ERP software solution SAP. That's nice money if there's a need for it around your area, my company just got up and running with it in Q1 of this year. Lot of money thrown around for sure...
