Interesting, I had no idea COBOL was this valuable.
How does one show proficiency to a prospective employer though? I am going to do some reading on COBOL. Thank you

"Despite a dwindling number of COBOL programmers, a 2017 report by Reuters found that there are still 220 billion lines of COBOL in use today. 43% of banking systems are built on COBOL and 95% percent of ATM swipes rely on COBOL code."
How does one show proficiency? As much as I dislike certifications, I think this is one place where earning a certification that demonstrates competency from a reputable certifying body, in lieu of verifiable employment history demonstrating experience, would be worthwhile.
I would look to see what certifications IBM offers, for example.
