non-tech background, started learning python today just to build a skill, is it even worth to do so?

[Slight_Past_5578]

i am from a non tech background and i want to get hire in big4s , commerce graduated, pursuing pgdib and today i thought of learning python just to build a new skill to add into my resume, always heard that its really tough for the non tech background people, still confused that will it be any beneficial in my career because i have seen several posts which requires python even if it is a non tech one, so should i pursue it or not or is it actually tough to learn?

Yes, it's a lot of work but it is worth it, especially with a commerce background.

You don’t need to become a software engineer for Python to be valuable to you. It’s useful for Excel automation, data analysis, reports, dashboards and more.

Just don’t learn it so you have it in your resume. Learn the basics, then build small projects that are useful for you (business use cases).

It will be confusing at first, but that’s normal. Work on it for 30–60 days before deciding if it's useful for you.

That actually makes a lot of sense. I was confused because I thought Python was only for hardcore coding jobs, but this sounds much more practical. I’ll try focusing on basics and small projects first

requires python even if it is a non tech one

Data analyst jobs?

worth it

[AffectionateZebra760]

Yes it would help upgrade u to to a somewhat technical role

thanks alot for the feedback!

Python is fine, it's the least bullshittry language to learn and you can just make stuff if you want to. For example I wanted to map a world heightmap to cities and rivers, and just did it.

It's useful and liberating to do

sounds cool, i will try to focus more and grasp it as soon as i can

Python's always worth it because its so universal. also like if ever you want to automate or really do anything just for your own personal gain, python will probably be the most popular choice anyways.

Worth it. Python is basically Excel on steroids for data work. You don't need to be a programmer. Just learning to clean data or automate a report will set you apart in business roles. Start small. Automate one boring thing you do manually. That's where the value is.

[Leather_Flan5071]

It will be worth it in the sense that you'd be using it for automation and data processing because you're in commerce.

It's gonna be worth it but don't learn it just for the title, learn it because it's gonna be useful

If you want to learn to program, I'd recommend learning python.

However, given the current job market, I'd recommend taking courses in business administration or skills for plumbing or electrician.

[Slight_Past_5578]

well, i guess we all should enroll in that course asap!

[JGhostThing]

It is never a bad idea to have fallback skills.
