Ask HN: Open position for Analyst / Junior Programmer

I'm currently a software analyst with a large corporation, who is looking to make the move into a full fledged programmer / developer role. I currently know some PL/SQL and use the Oracle derived SQL syntax to build custom reports, create database structures, and do database manipulation.

My question becomes, Are there any shops out there looking to take on someone with this little experience? I would like my focus to be older languages and/or older database structuring, mainly because of the analogy I can build in my head between it and maths. COBOL would be the easiest to pick up from what I've worked on before. Would anyone be willing to offer an entry level COBOL positions, or something in the same vein?
