    Don’t learn german. As a german I always feel sorry for people who learn this language just for 80 million old people ^^

      As a german I have to say learn whatever language you want, even if nobody speaks it.

            Most of the classic big financial tech mainframes actually run on COBOL, at least in Europe. Though even those are very slowly being replaced, mostly by Java. Still, freelancers with COBOL specialty do rake in huge sums. It’s not only about the rare tech skills ( COBOL isn’t worse or harder than other languages, it’s just old and thus simple), it’s about having those skills combined with a sufficiently high security clearance.
