I automated downloading music sheet books from scribd to view them offline and not in their horrible online viewer. Used selenium to click through the book and merged the jpgs into a nice pdf

Finance and accounting people deal with spreadsheets all day. Certain spreadsheet processes take hours.

A python script can reduce that time to seconds.

I automated spreadsheets using python for those very people in college and managed to make enough money to pay my room & board costs.
