You should try your question on interviewers. Well organised organisations will have reasonable (9-5) hours, breaks etc.

Those that work in chaos (or small companies trying to hammer the code out to make a living) will have longer, somethimes much longer hours.

It is up to you which you go work for, personally I like having a life.

As to COBOL! I can (well could) program in COBOL and promised myself I would never ever no matter what, do it for a living ever.

Good luck finding that ''right'' job.
