The demand isn't what it used to be. But there are great deal of critical
systems that use COBOL out there. Most companies, though, are actively trying
to get off those systems for cost reasons (one of which is having to pay a
COBOL developer a high salary).
IHMO: The demand is good - now. But the market is actively trying to reduce
that demand. So in the long term, a COBOL career is not a good way to go.
