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?

On a personal level, it can also help make your job more interesting by automating tedious tasks, freeing up more space to do actually useful stufd.

Better yet, automate the boring stuff, never tell your boss and enjoy a stress free day to find some other job that isn't so pointless.
