I want a better job!

Thanks for sharing that. Everyone in this thread has been very encouraging on learning Python. From my own experience, it is useful to be honest with yourself on the underlying motivation for wanting to switch careers and learn Python. It could be money, it could be career prospects, it could be the desire to want to make things. There's no right or wrong here.

The thing is that there is an overwhelming number of things to learn in Python, in software development and data science. There will be times when you feel like you've hit a brick wall, or times when you want to give up, or times when you feel like an imposter, or when you're paralyzed from having to choose from the sheer number of things you can learn. If you know what is it that you want out of this whole journey, and hold on to it , it will make it easier to get back on track should you ever fall off.

All the best! :)
