One final thought: developers already are and will continue to be in the future in very high demand. Learning the ins and outs of C++, one of the most difficult languages out there, will be tremendously helpful for you if you choose to go down that path, regardless if you get a job as a C++ engineer or as a general software developer.C++ is one of the few serious programming languages that helps you develop into a competent developer. The various skills that you learn cannot readily be developed in other languages because many of them treat you like a child, or hide important details that you will never  get access to or even reach an impasse because they are too inflexible.My top 8+1 reasons for learning C++1. Multiparadigm (no other language comes near), Objects, modular, templates/generics, functional programming models2. It is non-trivial, you learn something.3. Good way to learn various aspects of computer science4. It is nice for engineering applications5. It will be with us forever6. Learn C++ and after that all others are easy to learn. Believe me.7. Interfaces with Python, C# etc.8. Yuge installed base9. Impress people at cocktail parties with statements like "I have just written a parallel Monte Carlo option pricer in C++17, with lambdas".</blockquote>
