    Just knowing the language isn’t enough to make the obscene money. You have to also be very familiar with the systems that use the language, and that takes years.

      I have domain knowledge for some usages at least, and worked on things that were converted fairly recently from COBOL and places that still had AS/400 and such in use. I am aware I would need experience (beyond personal) before any real money would be there.
