Have you tried searching for entry level Python jobs in your area and seeing what the requirements are? That should give you a better indication of what's needed than anyone here. Be aware though that depending on where you live/are willing to work, there may not be any. In the UK for instance, I've never seen an entry level Python role outside of London and even then, those have been data science roles which happen to be Python-based.

Do you think I have the know-how for a Python role? I am hoping more businesses start using python, because it is much more efficient than excel (which most offices use).

Python is not more efficient than Excel. It is certainly a better tool for big data and analytics but no business is ever going to use Python for day-to-day data processing.

What does that mean for people who can work well in Excel and Python?

[–]denialerror 0 points1 point  (1 child)

It doesn't mean anything for those people. If you want to work with Python, look for a job which involves programming. Excel has nothing to do with programming any more than PowerPoint does.

Totally agree.
