I have a dilemma in regard to this article.
On the one hand, I do feel that keeping up with the latest technology, and expanding the skill set is valuable. But in this case I think that knowledge is its own reward.
On the other hand when salaries are offered to JAVA, PHP, C++, ASP experts at a rate that is less than, or barely comparable to starting COBOL programmers of a quarter century ago, (and that is in real dollars, not inflation adjusted) I must question the premise of this article.
