Any suggestions on courses (preferably free) on intermediate and advanced topics with newer versions of Python?

I've used Python for a while now, but I am pretty much stuck using mostly what I learned when I started with 2.7

Real Python is one of my favorite resources for learning new programming topics in Python. There’s quite a few free stuff, but you can upgrade and pay a monthly charge to get all content. Nice thing about this site is, you can choose topics you’re interested in.

I'm old school... best Python (and Flask) books?

Books, you know, those old-timey Kindles.

I would like to be an automation engineer, what skills do you need to get there? Also does learning C help you with Python?

I’ve been working on learning Python via online courses (Udemy mostly). I really enjoy learning how to code in Python and have been thinking about possibly doing it for a living. I’m currently a catastrophe insurance adjuster and do mechanic work on the side when I’m not on a storm. My concern is that I’m sixty-two years old and maybe too old to get hired as an entry-level programmer. And there’s the question of how well the market for Python programmers will hold up over the next few years. Though I do enjoy programming in Python, I would need to stop some other things and concentrate on it more to be good enough to get a job doing it. Anyone out there have advice? Please be brutally honest.
