Will, get your latest copy of ComputerWorld and turn to the
Help Wanted ads in the back. COBOL programmers are pulling
down upwards of $100K a year to fix the year 2000 problems
in ancient code. Recruiters can't find enough people who
know (or admit they know) how to write COBOL programs.

(I happen to know this because at certain times of the
month I look at a LOT of Help Wanted ads.) :-)
