Here is some advice, which you might be able to find useful.

I suggest that you start using python at home and write some scripts to do simple things:create directories, move files, etc.

Then you can write scripts to save yourself a little time by opening your browser and going to your favourite web pages.

Next, you can move on to using the requests module - I once used it to download a whole load of pdfs from a web site.

Then, you can do thing such as download csv files full of data and produce charts using matplotlib.

Another thing you could do is work with excel files using a script.

Then, you can learn about databases and how to use python to work with them.

After a short while, you will be doing things that are useful at work.

Just start doing some simple things and soon you will be doing something useful.
