"COBOL, it's finally becoming clear, isn't going away any time soon;
there are far too many business-criticial applications written in it
that work perfectly well for that to happen. This reality could be a
career boon for IT staff. Need to learn the ins and outs of COBOL?
Your employer may well pay for your training. Just getting started in
IT? COBOL can provide a niche that gets you a first job."
