Are you talking Struts 1 or 2?
Struts 1 is still very widely used.
I went to a conference last year and attended a talk comparing web frameworks. The speaker asked what framework everyone was using (you could vote more than once) and Struts 1 users outnumbered every other framework by a very large margin (probably every other framework combined). It's got problems, for certain, but it's got a huge installed base and user community and isn't going away any time soon.
As for what's next, this article has some interesting analysis.
In my opinion it just takes a few days of tutorials and reading to get up to speed on a framework. I wouldn't invest in a class.
 
Don't get me started about those stupid light bulbs.
