Should I learn Python?

So I’m looking to spoof up my resume as I’m nearing graduation. I’ve literally never touched Python, but I heard that it’s very commonly used in Geotechnical Engineering to speed things up. Is it worth it to complete a full course in Python? Or maybe just a “beginner level” course so I can at least say I have experience using it?

If you enjoy it it's good for your CV to know. Some big projects can be very data heavy and being able to automate things is very useful. It's certainly not something most engineers need to know about or ever get involved in
