    Maintaining old code is the real drawback. Surely nobody finds that fun.

    COBOL is just the turd on the shit cake.

        Friend of mine maintains COBOL for an insurance company. He lives on the opposite side of the country from his business, and is only on call one weekend a month.

        Dude got hired before he even graduated, getting paid 70k, and gets to live wherever he wants.

        I would kill for that lol
