COBOL programmers are worth their weight in gold

I would suggest language agnostic problem solving. Languages can be learnt.

Your perspective/premise is wrong, IMO. I would actually answer the question from the starting point of what interests you. Why? Because why would you learn something that you have no interest in? That just leads to lifelong mysery.
So what interests you? AI? SBC's? Web development? Database stuff? API development? Technical writing? Security? Testing? UI/UX? Biodynamic farming? Living off the grid?
If you start with a couple top of the list things that motivate you, then what you invest in regarding skills becomes clearer. The reward is life satisfaction, and if the income you make at it meets or exceeds your needs, then consider yourself lucky.

I am trying to set up a gmail account, but the service is so slow as to be utterly useless. I get a temporary code sent to me by a company as I try to change my email in my profile with them. The code expires in twenty minutes, but the message only appears in my gmail inbox two or more HOURS later.
Can anybody recommend a free email service other than gmail that performs better?

What email service do you expect to have more servers than gmail??
Are you really that much of an idiot, to ask that?

A better service just needs to be faster. I don't care how many servers they have!

Google has a "lot" of servers and most places it is instant. His dialup connection isn't Google's fault.
This is being nice. He needs to understand he needs to readjust his view on the world to avoid more disappointment.

You are wrong! I have a fast 400MB connection. And you can drop the insulting, condescending attitude.
