They taught us a couple weeks worth of C++ in college, but this was way back in the early 1990's. So I started my career as a C developer, gradually learning how/why to use C++ as better tools and libraries evolved. Various DOS-era libraries for UI, database, and communication encouraged me to use C++ more. And then learning Windows programming (MFC) also very much got me into C++. I eventually jumped to C#, which was probably made much easier by being comfy with C++ first.
