Something to think about as a career move, guys and gals. I've been talking about the shortage in machine language folks for the manufacturing industry, and the banking/financial industry is just as desperate for troubleshooters.

A good friend is one of the dying breed of COBOL programmers and works for a large insurance company. I still can’t believe these COBOL running computer dinosaurs are still around. Maybe I should dust off my my 50 year old experience programming in FORTRAN

I taught COBOL up until 8 years ago. Hartford, CT was the insurance company of the world and our students could find jobs as COBOL programmers.

I was an IBM lifer, coded in Assembler Language, for applications and systems back in the 70’s / 80’s. Also COBOL/PL/1 and PL/S. Fun stuff coding back then, especially when we received 3270 CRT instead of using punched cards. Miss those days.
