People think there's job security in this, but there's really not. I have been called in to replace archaic code with more modern/easier to read code.

It pays very well.

And there have been companies that are paying millions to a small firm to rewrite their COBOL software that covers the same feature set but also opens the door to extendability.

It really depends on management. Some companies don't mind paying IBM for new mainframes just to avoid any risks touching it, others are desperate to "break the monolith" and migrate from COBOL to something modern... like Java8. You win some, you lose some.
