    Friend of mine maintains COBOL for an insurance company. He lives on the opposite side of the country from his business, and is only on call one weekend a month.

    Dude got hired before he even graduated, getting paid 70k, and gets to live wherever he wants.

    I would kill for that lol

      Yep I worked in insurance and COBOL. Mostly getting it out of COBOL. Working remote is so nice! I’m hybrid right now it’s excellent.
