If you're experienced in another language, you can learn COBOL in a week or two. My first job out of school was with a consulting firm that would take new-hire non-programmers and have them on a client site writing COBOL in 3-4 weeks.

That’s fast. Aside from the common complaints people have about legacy code and so on, what was the hardest part of ramping up in COBOL?
