Anybody under 30 learning Mainframe Skills nowadays ?

Could anybody really fill this requirement from the mainframe side

Start Quote
Our client seeks to recruit additional Programmer to join their team. They are looking for professionals who are able to produce high quality systems from both technical and functional specifications. You will need 1 years experience within a Mainframe (COBOL, PL1, CICS) or PC (VB, C, C++) environment.

I honestly doubt that one year after I started my mainframe career I would have been able to produce high quality systems :rolleyes

With all the masses of mainframe dinosaurs floating around the world at the moment in a state of limbo, would any company have actually begun to train someone in "the mainframe" one year ago ?
