Any chance this weren't advisable, if the Mgmt in this ecosystem were bad.

lankku4422yI really wanna learn COBOL. I'd just need a project with COBOL to be my incentive.
The banking industry uses a lot of COBOL and it's paid well, I'm told. -
@fiftyhz im not entirely sure yet. Haven't gotten any details yet.
But i ran a bit of stuff on open-cobol and currenlty play around with that Mainframe thingy MVS Tk4- on Hercules, because i suspect it to be an ancient IBM System, knowing the Company in Question.
