Everyone hates php and cobol, and use their scripts dozens of times each day.
I hate php but have to write in it ( help me). I still won’t touch cobol.
I fantasize about being one of those extremely well-paid Cobol consultants when I reach the later stages of my career. Hoping that I can earn a full year's salary in 3-4 months and take the rest of the time off as a semi-retirement. It would be easier said than done, but it's a dream that helps me get through the days when I get sick of the daily grind.
That won’t happen. There were many Cobol consultants at my previous job, and they earned less than in house engineers on different stacks.
