Originally posted by R@nSiD C++ is a wide spread job scope as you can get Engine programmers who would be paid more than a C++ scripter. AND a C++ can get more jobs, unrelated to games. And most of them will be more relaxed and better paid... In general programmers get paid more... in fact is ludicrous what a java programmer gets paid on the UK... so ludicrous im thinking on getting a SUN certification
