I'd say COBOL is still one of the most used languages -- it's just used now for old code maintenance rather than writing a ton of new programs. If you want to learn a language that can substantially help you get a job, learn COBOL. All the old pro's who knew it, wrote it, and used it for year after year after year, are retiring, and the new crowd considers it outdated and beneath them. Outdated or not, COBOL still needs to run to keep the financial and business factor going the same way it has been for the past 50 years!!
