Shall I go for sharepoint or asp.net

Question

Hi, I am new to sharepoint , well convenient with asp.net 2.0 landed in a job which is purely  in sharepoint 2007 just 2 months ago...
I could not just understand its flow, its working ...
its benefits or advantages over asp.net..
The CAML query and adding  custom web parts has been an headache for me
for the last 3 days...
Please someone suggest me ...
shall i continue with sharepoint or try finding a job in asp.net itself as i am convenient with it very much...

Thanks and regards,
Friend
