QUOTE(finkl1 @ Nov 6 2007, 08:58 AM) COBOL?...mainframe...called Hogan. thanks for the info. Still considering...2 years bonded..hmm the guys from the prevoius posts does make it sound a little bit scary...hahaYou need to ask yourself if you want to make a future living with COBOL?. I'm not sure if it's development, testing, management, biz analysis... Hogan for one...is very proprietry, so, you learn nothing much but banking transactions, and remember all those shortcut commands navigating that DOS-like menu. Nothing much that I learnt...except soft skills...talking to people and how to "encourage" people to give you information.. Travelling short term was modest during my time, Hong Kong, Singapore, Indonesia...but, it all depends on your project. I just know the allowance is good for Hong Kong and Singapore....  |
