They don't teach COBOL, JCL, VSAM or VTAM...cause nobody needs it.
Be careful what you say and/or wish for. No matter how much stuff gets migrated off mainframes every day, there is still a ton of stuff running on them all over the world. You'd be surprised. Take any long term member of the Fortune 500. OK, so maybe the flashy front end stuff is off running on a linux farm. I'd be willing to bet that their billing and payroll still run on a mainframe, maybe their customer data lives there too. Chances are that their automated system backups run there too, backing up everything from shared folders on your desktop PC to the linux boxes running the front end systems.
