  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.
