   @me I have a friend locally doing COBOL for TD and she says it's good work. Very slow because most of the world is waiting on approvals.

     This probably won't help me in my current job search, but is it worth learning COBOL? I've heard that there are still a bunch of critical systems out there that use it, and that it's hard to find COBOL devs these days.

     Is this still the case? The only downside I can see is that I'd have to program in COBOL.
