Slightly unconventional suggestion, but you missed off COBOL :) There are 220 BILLION lines of code underpinning many financial and retail systems, and it's going nowhere soon - there's no ROI for organisations to decipher and re-write that old code in anything modern, and the support base of developers that understand it is ageing and a finite resource.
No one in their right mind would actually choose to learn COBOL now, but you might choose to like money - and I have no doubt as that developer base retires off, this will be a very lucrative skill!!
Did I mention you'd have to be out of your mind...? How much is your sanity worth :)

Hypothetically, if one wanted to learn COBOL, where would they start?

I started here - but never made it that far.
