How hard is Cobol and how much money can I make with it?

Mildly
A lot but good luck finding one of the very few jobs who need a Cobol programmer

The few COBOL jobs out there are held by the same idiot who used COBOL to put the system together 30 years ago. When he dies they're going to hire a team of whiz kids to redo the whole thing in Python.

If you are gud you can make decent money updating legacy cobol code in big banks. It is a clusterfuck and any competent programmer goes to algo trading instead of IT.

I don't know where you live, but where I am (western Europe) COBOL is quite in demand among banks. If you put in on your resume/LinkedIn you can be sure to find a job within weeks. Salary isn't that great though.
