Want to stay employed in times of crisis? Learn Cobol
Posted by: Marcelo Galvani In: Tips
The Computerworld published this post on stability in employment enjoyed by programmers in Cobol.
I found interesting. 
They called the lack of programmers in an ancient language, but still widely used, the survival and stability in times of turbulence in the markets. It would be like saying, learn to swim because not everyone has money to invest in steamboats, and the rowing boats are out there looking for paddlers RSS ...
Speaking frankly, is to work with Cobol, Java,. Net, or any other technology, which makes the difference is the ability of the individual. Nobody will hire an incompetent just because he knows Cobol. he may even be hired, but then to have some stability ...
Joking aside, it is worth also read The Confessions of a Cobol programmer, which tells of one American who learned Cobol to 40 years.
