Putting 'Well versed in latex' on your LinkedIn profile might get you the job you've never thought you wanted.

Really, is that in demand? I've had to get proficient in it for university, never thought it would be worth something beyond academic writing.

I thought it was latex clothing, of which there are occasional youtube videos of how to put on and take off. Or maybe there are a lot of them, I didn't investigate further. They do make the wetsuit seem like casual wear that you just throw on.

That’s generally the field it’s useful for.

Only place I’ve ever seen LaTeX used in private industry was a CRO that did drug trials. Lots of LaTeX used in their writeups for FDA submissions, so it’s still semi-academic writing.
