I am getting trained in mainframe.
Is it worth to get trained in such old technology and which kind of work I have to do in this tech.

It's not worth it, you will always be underpaid against your yoe. Then after spending 7-8 yrs in the technology you will realise that it becomes really hard to switch companies. Other technology people would be earning much more than you.
I would suggest you to keep learning other tech and try switching tech as soon as you have 1 year of experience.

Currently going to school for my cannabis certification but I rarely see any jobs that offer cannabis research. I currently work in a lab/greenhouse environment and would love to continue that line of work with hemp/cannabis. Yet again no luck whatsoever, just finding jobs as budtenders or running a dispensary. Does anyone know where I can find research-based cannabis jobs? I have a degree in horticulture with lab experience.
