When you think of a programming language that runs the world people think of C and C++, sure they run the world but that is not what I am talking about. I am talking about Cobol. Cobol is a language that was created in 1959. Cobol is used for data analyse and that kind's of stuff, but it's mainly used by business most commonly banks. Cobl handles just around 3 trillion dollars every day.

Yes of course but each day there are banking software companies that are translating Cobol (not cobl) softwares into another languages. It's nothing new and cobol is a language that is not capable to handle nowadays architectures and a dinosaur that must disappear as Delphi did more than 20 years ago.
I must remember that cobol software handles less than the 10% of worldwide banking software nowadays and it's used only on few other dinosaur apps (usually government ones) around the world.
If you want to go into banking software learn Java and C#
