COBOL

There's something in the name that reminds me of cobwebs, dungeons, and dark alleys.

Unfortunately, this programming language is where some are putting their money in, here in Philippines. COBOL is one of the oldest programming language. According to wikipedia, it was created in 1959 to support finance and business systems etc. Many companies are outsourcing maintenance jobs for systems in COBOL.

To cut the chase, apparently, I am applying for a COBOL trainee position...which has a three year contract.  Writing it down makes me realize that it's obviously a wrong decision. 

This is a funny quote. When someone says "let's be realistic", you know he/she is not going to do anything good.

So let's be realistic. It's a right to choose, if you have options that is.
