As someone who have spent the last six months learning C++ (making the transition from web developer) all I can say is that it'll be hard for me to leave Qt framework. It's very pleasant to work with it (although some corner cases can give you headaches). I'm mostly working with Qt Quick/QML in general (previously I used the widgets but I needed "easy access" to more eye candy effects without spending too much time in code. There's a overhead to pay though).

  I want to expand my knowledge. I'm almost done with college and I'm both thrilled and terrified on what will I encounter from here on, there is still a lot to learn. I'm not as good as many people here I just lurk most of the time, although, I've been doing web development for years, mostly self-taught. I had the opportunity to freelance as well. Most of my drive to learn C++ is curiosity and the need to be able to write/understand C++ code because I wanted to work with it, I've been meaning to get an Arduino kit too. I'd love to enter the field in C++ as junior dev if possible, at the same time I won't neglect web development if the opportunity is there. As I said before, I want to expand. I won't just "throw away" web development either. Lastly, I'm not in the US, the job market here is pretty terrible, and have found it hard to look for a place to work. I can work in the U.S, but sadly being both college student + no cash to do much it's pretty hard to pull off.
