Yea NOBODY teaches COBOL anymore, only places that use it are a few Financial companies that still run Mainframe stuff.

i still have a COBOL skillset ..i had to learn that and JCL for my first internship working on mainframes for a utility company

Is this thread only for people looking into Network admin/help desk/security positions? What about people looking to become a developer/programmer/bioinformatics specialists? I've read that its best to read through all 489 pages of the thread, but for pages 1-10 it's been all Networking/Cisco/Security related. I'm not going to read every page if its 90% Networking especially if Im gonna have to take a 36k/yr paycut for 4-5 years just to get back to my current salary.

there's 2 threads with IT stuff - this and http://www.thecoli.com/threads/developer-programming-information-and-careers-thread.116488/
