At my current job I'm doing C++ and scripting as a software engineer. I've been looking around at new jobs with about 2 years experience. However it seems like there is a very short # of jobs open that are requiring C++ programming. Most of the jobs are for .NET or Java programming jobs.
Granted C++ is a great language and it's similar to Java, and it's an OO language in general, I am wondering if I should really start looking for a Java or .NET job instead of a C++ while I'm still early in my career.
Do you all think that .NET and Java are going to completely over take C++ in the near future? Is it going to be very difficult to probably find a C++ job in say 3-5 years or so?
I'm really thinking of trying to get a Java job or something, and I really like doing web pages so I am thinking of learning ASP on the side as well.
Thoughts?
