Hi Eli!
(please excuse and correct me if I address you incorrectly)
Thanks for sharing your story! These things about IBM (mainframes, right? - I just heard of them - perhaps they are still used in banking or something alike?)
Currently I am studying and practicinf with JAVA
Oh, it is a good choice - a lot of positions worldwide and good salaries (I'm myself java programmer mainly). Though far not the easiest language :)
My best wishes to you on this path!
Yes, but the IBM i are considered as mostly as so called "midrange" computers, which are used widely ( as mainframes ) in banks and insurance companies ( mostly due to good calculation power and most of built in supplied features as security etc ) the only disadvantage - those platforms natively are supporting only DB2,
