"...Now if you want to keep working on WebDev in the coming years, then you should invest some time learning Node, so you don't end up like some folks that know COBOL and only get work maintaining ancient legacy code."

"new" COBOL developers get paid 90k+ a year to maintain legacy code. That's more than most jobs that use modern programming languages at an entry level.

I'd say if you're following the money, then be a COBOL developer.
