That seems like a myth to me. I actually looked up COBOL salaries and they were a bit higher (like 20%) but definitely not enough to make them tempting.



There is typically a big difference between a consultant's hourly rate and a full time salary hourly rate.


Yeah exactly. I was comparing like for like (contracts or full time). The difference due to the fact that it was COBOL was definitely not enough to make me want to learn COBOL.
