to learn c++ to earn a living, what should I do? I can answer C++ questions in college books.?

Question

I think most of private institutes are not useful. I can answer the questions asked in college courses in C++ but it seems employers do not want that. Employers seem to want experience in specific tasks. I was thinking of (a) finding experienced programmers and requesting them to let me help them. Problem is how to find them. (b) Contacting companies working in C++ and requesting them to let me do simple things for them. Problem is will they reply. (c) finding paying work in c++ and jumping in. Problem is no one is likely to give me a fresher work. Experienced programmers please give your suggestions

You should search "C++ fresher jobs" on google or various job sites.

Hope that helps!

It seems you do not have a computer degree. Whatever your qualifications are, write a CV, make lots of copies and go to companies nearby your area and drop copies there. I'm sure you'll find helpful people and even paying jobs once you follow this proper way of finding work, whether paid or volunteer.

Some people print a classified ad in newspapers. If you can afford it, it will be helpful if you have a business card, too. It doesn't need to be "professional"; just your name and contact address will be all they need.

I just filled two junior positions: one with a responsible and well-educated fresh college graduate, and one with a guy who worked a bugfixer job previously. Those are the typical paths towards a C++ career: college -> internship -> junior sw engineer or tech support -> tester/bugfixer -> junior sw engineer.

For a serious, six-fig position, yes, companies require a lot of prior experience. For a junior - no, all that's required is to know what you're talking about and to show that you're ready to work hard. Finishing college with good grades is one way to prove that you can work hard. Doing a bunch of free software projects on the side while finishing college with good grades is even better.

As for your thoughts:
"a"/"b" this is called internship. search for open internship positions with software companies. A lot of them are seasonal, scheduled to take advantage of CS students who go on summer breaks.
"c" see above, bugfixing/support positions are not likely to have high experience requirements

questions about c++ lol?

i think the best way is to actually program something? anything a game, w/e. just think of something and make it. Or you can google c++ projects or something like that.
Making the code yourself for something is the best way to get better at it.
And after you finish it, you can add what you programmed to resumes.
