Comment on Ask HN: Is there a place for an investment banker?parent

This is a really good idea. I've been looking into visual basic macros for excel. Unfortunately, VB isn't exactly 'hip' or in favor anymore to anyone in the tech field. But I guess it's as start.

While not sexy there are some critical VB programs in existence and there are some companies that will pay top dollar for VB programers, it is kind of like COBOL now, it is not attracting new people, but the systems that are on it are important. I have a buddy that commands the best rates he has ever seen, in his career, maintaining VB apps. There is definitely a market for sunset technologies, it is the other, not talked about high pay market.
