@AndySylvester I think the IRS could also use some help with COBOL.
@Ron yes, I think that is another area that has lots of old COBOL applications. I have not done any programming in COBOL, but I knew a science teacher who was a programming buff who did Y2K COBOL consulting as a side job.
@AndySylvester We had COBOL as one of the two major programming languages in higher Ed as late as the early 90’s, and I know people got jobs programming in COBOL later, even after Y2K.
