Would you not expand your knowledge and learn a new language instead? Knowledge of the likes of C#, Java or VB.Net would help you an lot in the current jobs market.

Yeah not so many C++ jobs compared with other languages these days. And you would have to compete with all the old bitter veteran c++ guys Just get a programming job and you will learn stuff that is applicable across the board. Then you can learn c++ in your own time if you want.

Basically, all courses are a load of rubbish (this includes college). Sure you need to have qualifications on CV, but in reality you learn everything by actually writing code. This is why experience > qualifications. Go and write some kind of C++ demo, that will get you a job much faster than any course.

<- 15+ years of c++ and still learning -.-

their doesnt seem to be many jobs for Java programmers that i can see any way.

I done Visual Basic in College. think i look at something like Perl or Ruby.. i dont see much in Ruby any one using that and is it powerful ?

McAfee in Mahon point are posting C++ jobs now and again. But first time i seen a Junior C++ programmer wanted.

All i can write is Record Files, Search a file your Normal Crap you Learn in College.. to getting a job writing Code for a Anti-Virus Programme

Have you tried writing libraries -DLLs?
Do you have a portfolio of your coding?
