Thinking of moving to C++

So to make a super long story short, I graduated a couple years ago with a bachelors in software development. Learned and starting doing more with C#, shortly after that I had a job offer. But I needed to have lung surgery and would need a lot of time off and the offer was withdrawn (hindsight I should have not said anything until after I started lol ) and had a long recovery and health issues.

Im back to 100% and havent done much coding or anything in that gap of time while I was sick. Id like to get back in to it but deciding between going back in to C# or pivoting and learning C++. C++ I think is more prevalent in career fields Id enjoy, aerospace, embedded, games (though realistically probably not where id actually go), and some government work.


I also know C# can be used in those fields as well, but I did really enjoy the few C++ courses I had back in school and its intrigued me ever since. So really im stuck deciding if I do C# and then try to move to a C++ role after some experience, or just go for C++ off the rip. I know entry level is gonna be difficult for both but feel like itd be even more so for C++. Im also in Missouri and not sure how prevalent C++ even is here, though im also not opposed to moving ha.
