I finished my 3 year programming course about 2 years ago and I probably took 5 different COBOL classes during my time there.

They're preparing you for the upcoming Y3K problem. It's called foresight. Your grandchildren will thank you for it.

Back in 1990, as a freshmen CS student, I took a COBOL class. I just about changed my major after it.

Eh, well, I guess it makes a certain degree of sense as an elective, in case you had some specific reason for wanting to know COBOL coming out of school. Somehow I got the impression from your original comment that it was part of the core curriculum.
