My friend's father works with COBOL. Apparently it's quite lucrative. It isn't used much, but it's also hard to hire people for those jobs so they tend to be well paid.

Yeah, I read about some roles paying upwards of $200k, but I think they were in California (OP is asking about NY, which I don't know much about)

I am sure there are COBOL jobs in NY; plenty of old firms (banks and the like) have headquarters there. A quick Google search seems to confirm this.
