Sure, COBOL is still around on some mainframe somewhere too,

almost nobody knows it exists! :D
But those that do get £150k+ and almost all are over 60.
I'm a little surprised that there aren't more young programmers
seeing that money and learning some COBOL. It's not a hard
language.
The pay might be high, but the positions are limited. I'd say
there's probably 30-50+ .NET jobs in my area for every
COBOL/FORTRAN job.
