Learning Python and SQL is a Waste of Time
“Learning Python and SQL is a waste of time,” something no one has ever said.
If there’s one pair of skills that consistently open doors in tech, finance, analytics, consulting, AI, startups, and everywhere, it’s Python and SQL. People talk about them like separate skills, but in the real world, they work together. They’re joined at the hip.
Want proof? Look at the roles that rely on them every single day:
Python + SQL → Data Analyst
Python + SQL → Data Engineer
Python + SQL → Data Scientist
Python + SQL → Machine Learning Engineer
Python + SQL → Financial Quantitative Analyst
It doesn’t matter where you start. If you get good at these two, you immediately become more useful, more employable, and more confident with data.
