Hello,
I have three total coop terms in my comp sci program. I finished my first one at a health sciences research institute, secured my second one at the same place, but I think I want to try something different for my last. One of the big five Canadian banks is a major employer of coop students from my school, so I was thinking that if I learned COBOL on my own, it would help me stand out from the pack (I'm not too worried about finding employment, I have plenty of paid programming experience for a student, and my grades are excellent. Just want something that makes me unique). COBOL jobs must be pretty rare, but because the only people who know it are greybeards, and they must all be nearing retirement, it sounds like a lucrative niche to get into.
What would a typical dev environment look like for programming in COBOL? My machine runs Linux primarily (Ubuntu-based), but I can boot into Windows if need be.
Thanks

I didn't find the right solution from the internet.
