My Dad told me that I should learn COBOL because there are so many businesses running on COBOL software, yet not many people are maintaining it.

Though I always wanted to write a full-length video game in a language that was totally not intended for it, so I'll take that into consideration.

@xianc78 Programming languages are not hard to learn. If a business needs someone who knows COBOL anyone they already have can learn it

@frost COBOL requires you to know some other language (JCL) in order to use it, assuming you are using it on IBM mainframes.
