In cobol nonetheless.
You mean COBOL.
Fraudsters HATE this one old-timey computer language
Edit: for real tho, can learning COBOL easily translate into some bank or bank-adjacent role even if they don't have a CS degree or whatever?
I've heard 2nd stories of the few old-timers who still know COBAL, FORTRAN, etc who have very generous salaries working in sectors like banking. It's probably too late now though.
Isn’t too late. Work in a very large bank. Some of the COBOL underpinnings will probably never die. The same cannot be said for their maintainers.
