Is learning programming worth it? Outside of a career, what can I do with programming? (self.python)

I learned a little bit of python back in college with the hope that it would give me a competitive edge in the field I hoped to enter. Lo and behold, I got a job in a different industry entirely and any knowledge of coding I once had became irrelevant.

Would it be worth it to pick up my python textbook again and self-teach in my free time if I don't want to make a career of coding? What exactly can python be used to create?

The short answer is that you can create what ever you want with Python.

It’s a general purpose programming language and you can do anything with it!

What do you want to do?
