I worked at more shops than most of you. 15 or so. Never once did I or any coworkers (tech support) ever need to write assembler in over 40 years. Many of them very large shops too. The health insurance company I worked at had a system written in the 80’s that had some assembler that infrequently needed changed. We always had to find a contractor to do the work. So learning assembler in college never paid off but the cobol elective did. I also remember a professor telling us you don’t need to learn JCL because it was going to be obsolete soon. JCL never went obsolete and probably was the most important skill I learned. Thanks to EDS.
