If COBOL is such a big deal, a bank would get a steal of a deal if they funded some university chairs for professors who are willing to teach COBOL. "High Stakes Financial Software Engineering 332".
Others are indicating that the banks would rather hire a novice and let them learn the system. Seems like they have some sort of long term onramp procedures. Or their current crop of almost retirees are harboring a deep-seated desire to see the world financial system go down in flames. Which would be odd for someone who will presumably be depending on a financial instrument like a pension or 401k for income.
