Can C++ Programmers find jobs?

I read an article about 5 min ago i cant find the page again though , it was going on about that C++ programmers are finding it hard to get jobs because C++ programs take longer than other languages to make, I understand what it means because C++ is one of the meanest languages out but is it still worth learning it or moving onto another language like C# or java for when I leave school (in a few months), go to University and then start applying for programmer jobs, will people who can code in other languages get the jobs because they can produce the finished software quicker?


Thanks for answers

Can C++ Programmers find jobs?
C++ programmers are not being outsourced. SAP and other database , non programming, IT jobs are being outsourced.





Java and Python are quicker languages, but C++ is more robust and is object orientated and provides things that the other languages do not.





It matters not about which language is quicker. What matters is what the code the company is using when they hire you. If they already have a huge infrastructure in Fortran, they are not going to switch to Java just like that. As a programmer one should be able to switch to any language easily and adapt to whatever the company needs. This way you will be more marketable than someone that vehemently only codes in one or two languages.
Reply:no. because it is being outsourced
