QT and C++, it's far too long on my list. It feels quite limited to me, to just be able to spit out web applications, many ideas I got would be better as a GUI application.

Oh alright thanks for the info !

That's from their page, for me this looks like you have to pay it back if you, for example got bad grades, in fact I can ensure you, that the limit is 50%, if you screw up in more than 50% of your courses, you are done.

> (you don't have to pay this back, and there also is no tuition)

You have to pay it back, if you fail in your courses.

So you are telling OP that he got no chance 'here' and he should instead move to another area ?

It might be true but that's still not a good advice, you should rather ( if you know how ) advice him how to make it 'here' instead of 'there'.

What's the reason for the switch ?

For us ( the company where I work ) it would be very difficult to rewrite our applications to core, so we decided to only introduce core to new in-house projects.

You got your answer, learn core

I'm not sure if asp.net core is production ready, I wouldn't use it right now for my projects and I also doubt ( someone correct me if this is wrong ) that established companies are looking for asp.net core devs, it might be quite hard to find freelancing jobs.

So it's probably a better idea to use node for freelancing.

Now combined, you actually don't like node, asp.net core is not production ready and companies are not using it (yet), what else could you do ? asp.net mvc, lots of jobs, solid mature framework and C#.

Edit: I also think that it won't be hard to switch from asp.net mvc to asp.net core.

I'm very pleased so far, but as I said, it's too early for me to tell something.

> However, it didn't scale that well for us.

What kind of scaling problems did you encounter ?

I'm measuring its footprint, it's too early for me to tell, I can refer back to you, after I've done some tests.
