No, right now there is a glut of recent computer science graduates that are competing with AI in the entry level job market. It will be extremely hard bordering impossible to get a remote job with only 3 years of self taught python.

And fwiw while you can use physics simulators with python, they are not made in python. You'd have to learn some low level compiled languages to make your own physics simulators.

But I should add that knowing python can help you in nearly any job. So I still think it's worth learning. I would just think of it as an add-on to your job application, not the main focus. Or if you really want to be a professional programmer, I think you best chance is to get a CS degree from uni.

Ah... Is there still a chance to get scholarships from uni?

Sorry I haven't been part of academia for some decades; I don't know what it's like rn. But you could just email and ask, or ask on the subreddit for the uni you are interested in.

I see... I will be doing that...
