I'll learn cobol. What company? I do have an it background as a bonus though.
Good luck to you!
I'd rather not dox myself, but i can tell you i'm in eastern europe working for a western european bank. COBOL is still heavily used in the banking and insurance sectors, by companies that started using it 50 years ago.
If you do manage to learn the ropes, the salary does tend to be above average for a mid-level programmer.
