I have a coworker who, when he got out of school in the 90s, got hired to write COBOL. There's a ton of COBOL out there, and why not? As much as "waterfall" is a fiction, high-spec, super-detailed-spec projects actually do have some advantages as they are usually well thought out. That is where COBOL played, and why those apps have run since the 70s.

It probably was hard to hire in the mid 2000s. I applied for a job as fraud/engineer/technical investigator and didn't get it. The rejection phone call was we noticed you have "Pascal" on your resume, can you please come and help us out to document and extend a Delphi application for the same pay, we have created a job for you? I did.

COBOL will outlive all of us.
