jQuery & Javascript Differences : <p>I understand the difference between jQuery &amp; JavaScript but I don't know which to learn and why to learn it.</p>

<p>For example I know jQuery makes a lot of functions &amp; activities much easier than the JavaScript equivalent but that's really all I know in for jQuery's Advantages. But what if I come across something that can only be done in plain JavaScript? But by the time I'm advanced with jQuery, attempting to do the JavaScript equivalent might be overly complexed and maybe hinder completion for whatever reason.</p>

<p>And if jQuery makes everything much easier why should I bother learning plain JavaScript? is there an advantage to not using jQuery to complete projects, do more developers use JavaScript, does it hold a job better than a jQuery developer, is there more resources out there for JavaScript over jQuery, is JavaScript more compatible with other languages further down the line, will I be able to do more complex functions and build more complex applications using plain JavaScript?</p>

<p>I basically want to become a full stack developer and I've hit the JavaScript section of my personal development and want to make the right decision and in a way to me jQuery feels like you have less control because its easier if that makes sense.</p>

<p>All these questions spring to mind but the main question I want answering is why should I learn which and why not the other. I would really appreciate an answer from another developers point of view.</p>

<p>Thank you all!</p>
