cannot find symbol

Getting error for console input

TeacherAssistant.java 
import java.io.*;
public class TeacherAssistant {

  public static String validatedFieldName(String fieldName) {
    // These things should be verified:
    // 1.  Member fields must start with an 'm'
    char mField;
    mField = System.console.readLine("Enter a field: ");
    if(mField != 'm'){
      throw new IllegalArgumentException("Enter a field starts with m : ");
    }

    // 2.  The second letter in the field name must be uppercased to ensure camel-casing
    // NOTE:  To check if something is not equal use the != symbol. eg: 3 != 4
    return fieldName;
  }

}

why are you doing the RETIRED course? I recommend doing the new Java Objects course.
