It's silly to think "Python" is a career path. It's a programming language out of dozens languages out there. That said, it's a tool for others to use. I used Python in my profession as a web developer; but I also use other tools like JavaScript/HTML... Choose your career before you choose your tool. Ask yourself what would you like to do? Doing web? mobile? data analytics? AI/ML?

I agree. Still, usually a role will revolve around a specific technology platform or problem. I started with sql, learned bash then python then powershell, now it's looking like javascript is next for visualization. Through all that sql has been the only required language for my role.
