Sure there are very well paid jobs for even ancient languages like Fortran, Assembly, and Cobol, but do you really want to do that position forever? Even C#, like my current position, is old but it's not dying yet, and they keep coming out with updated versions. Programming is definitely "use it or lose it" when it comes to knowledge, and 3 years is a long time to remember all the tips and tricks people use just when using an IDE, let alone a language. | |
