Hi guys...

I've recently begun learning C++, after learning VB for about 5 years, in which I have become quite accomplished, and felt I should **try** and learn something thats supposed to be better.

However, I've been hearing a lot recently saying that C++ is not needed any more to get a job as a programmer, as which the hardware we have now, there is no difference in the speed, and the only place where C++ is wanted is in games development...
but what does everyone here think?

Should I carry on learning C++, or should I just use VB?

Thanks
