If you even manage to get a job you'll probably regret your decision for the rest of your life. Long hours, bad pay, poor benefits, ridiculous deadlines so you're always under stress and bringing your work home with you, terrible job security (constant layoffs and bad job market), etc.

Just focus on learning C++.

also, this might not look like much but let me tell you our core is getting pretty complete
(data collection so things dont get loaded multiple times, different type of objects, moving screen, collision checking, action on collision, death/respawn)
