What's the most important programming language to learn in 2024 when it comes to Job Security? Is it Python? Is it JavaScript? Is it PHP?
The answer is COBOL. You may have never heard of COBOL but it is used in some of the biggest and most important industries from finance, government, healthcare, utilities, retail, transportation, telecommunication, and others.
There are over 800,000,000,000 lines of code written in COBOL. COBOL was created in 1959 and it runs on Mainframe computers.
There is a major shortage of developers who know how to program with COBOL. Most skilled COBOL programmers are aging out of the industry and all that legacy code needs to be maintained and or converted to a more modern programming language.
Job Security for COBOL programmers is great. The salary is high. And the demand is off the charts.
COBOL is one of the most important programming languages you should consider learning in 2024.
