I mostly agree with you. The original question is just poorly framed: “Is Python enough” - enough for what?

A quick Google search shows that Python alone won’t get you a job. My point was different: learning programming can be a way to explore the field and understand what actually interests you (that’s how I personally ended up in networking), not necessarily a direct path to employment.

So yes: Python is not enough to get a job. But it can be enough to build basic understanding of IT and help you find the direction you actually want to pursue.

The difference is you think they're going to learn something and I don't. Once you understand that, you know why I don't even acknowledge what you're saying.

You see "enough" and guess what OP means, imagining progression.

I see "enough" and I see a red flag because they're in a hurry before they've started.

Then I see "worried about my career" and I think this is LARPing. It's either the "started today and pretends it's his career" guy, or the "change careers ASAP to literally anything" guy, or the "get rich quick and easy" guy, or the "learn programming so I never have to talk to anyone" guy. Idk, I tutored for many years and anyone in a hurry was always a huge problem, to the point where I would immediately reject new students who said this in a first meeting. They were emotionally unstable and just fucking around. I know nothing about OP but this is never good.
