the available talent is scarce

I have a friend who is going to take over maintenance for a smaller regional banking system in a few years. It's mostly COBOL and the systems themselves have not been updated in like 25-30 years. He has been apprenticing under his mother who has been in charge of maintaining the infrastructure there since the late '80s.
