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?

    I would check out the online free book How to Automate the Boring Stuff with Python it gave a lot of ideas for little scripts that can save me time (not hours usually, but about an hour over time so far) such as my script for organizing my downloads folder based on the file extension.
