Yes, I know ... but no one knows COBOL anymore, and many big financial institutions (BANKS!) are running old hardware and software still because its too expensive to change over.

There is almost always a job in Vancouver posted for $120,000/yr for COBOL software maintenance ... boring as @#$% but at least you can drive to and from work in a Ferrari and dictate your hours.

C++ is old too, but commonly used. JAVA programmers get paid $10/hr because as someone already said, every geek and their pet rock knows it ...
