Hi Len,
Same here. I'm not sure if my 40+ years of MF experience will be in demand
for much longer. I hope so - it's still may favorite platform.
These days, I'm working on lunix/unix to add to my knowledge, and to
hopefully keep a job. :-)
I've been following these threads with much interest, as I'm approaching 60
and want to know what my options are.
Thanks!
BobL

I've contemplated retiring from my current post-mainframe job sometime if I
could find a fitting at least mostly remote job. Another option would be short
term contracts and living the RV life :-)
I wonder how long my mainframe knowledge will be marketable, how may year away
is too long?
The other alternative is the same setup, but my current skill set, Linux,
Zabbix, DEV-OPS and maybe soon Splunk or ELK.
If you search the MXG logs or the various Listservs, you'll find my name, we
just didn't know that kind of cooperation was the future of "open source" :-)
