I don’t think there’s a shortage of people who know COBOL because every computer programming student I knew in the 80s had to take COBOL (and hated it). People just don’t want to do it.

It wasn’t just programming students. Many institutions made business students take COBOL. I took Fortran and COBOL at the same time. It was a good year.
