   Out of work does not translate to "ok, let's volunteer!".  It would take a   
   truely altruistic (+ young/healthy) person to do that at this time of lockdown   
   with no source of income.  Maybe there are a few talented people who don't need   
   the money.  I seriously doubt there are young COBOL programmers at this time.   
      
      
      
   "lead to $$ later" ???  A possibility.  But after the fix is done, I doubt it.   
      
   There was quite a frantic need for COBOL programmers just before Y2K.  I heard   
   the pay was most excellent.  ;)
