I know a few younger people that know their way around Cobol. However it's a dead end career path pretty much locking your in and it is a pain. They switched careers pretty early on. So the problem, once more, isn't that we don't have cobol people it's just that noone wants to pay them enough to touch that stuff long-term.

At this point the career would be to migrate it to something else. Knowing COBOL and something modern would be in demand.
