Read this
Code: |
The manager of a large corporation got a heart attack, and the doctor told him to go for several weeks to a farm to relax. The guy went to a farm, and after a couple of days he was very bored, so he asked the farmer to give him some job to do.
The farmer told him to clean the shit of the cows. The farmer thought that to somebody coming from the city, working the whole life sitting in an office, it will take over a week to finish the job, but for his surprise the manager finished the job in less than one day.
The next day the farmer gave to the manager a more difficult job: to cut the heads of 500 chickens. The farmer was sure that the manager will not be able to do the job, but at the end of the day the job was done.
The next morning, as most of the jobs in the farm were done, the farmer asked the manager to divide a bag of potatoes in two boxes: one box with small potatoes, and one box with big potatoes.
At the end of the day the farmer saw that the manager was sitting in front of the potatoes bag, but the two boxes were empty. The farmer asked the manager: "How is that you made such difficult jobs during the first days, and now you cannot do this simple job?"
The manager answered: "Listen, all my life I'm cutting heads and dealing with shit, but now you ask me to make decisions."

(1)what i mean is System Programer
because my company will change the host in the three years (from mainframe to UNIX)
i can find new job or stay
but i think i will leave
(Can you think that you lost your dinosaur in the someday mornig??
i may think about that OH MY GOD! i lost my profession
i can not use MVS, i have no money buy my presonal mainframe

You know that if you don't use mainframe for a long time
you may forget how to use
(2)
i ever learn java a year ago
how to install jdk on mainframe?
is the jdk free?
(3)
is there any story about MVS SP become success(learn more money or become a entrepreneur and so on ?

Ripley,
If you are certain that your company will move from MVS , why not start learning UNIX now itself? you have a better oppurtunity to learn unix and play around with it and get hands on experience with both the systems.
If you are not interested to learn unix and want a strict mvs job , then I am sorry to say that you WILL become a dinosaur eventually. When you are born you did not know how to walk or run. You first learned to crawl and then walk and then run. You did not stop when you first learned to crawl. you tried the next level i.e walking. Similary you learnt MVS, you need to keep up the latest technology just to keep you ahead of the game. As long as you remember you are a student , you will always succeed.

It does not matter how much you learn , what matters how much of that learning did you put to use. As far as I know JDK is not free.

Why not Ripley ? Try to set an example rather than look for an example to follow.
