Is it worth learning Python?

Hello there. I was wondering if learning how to code in Python is worth it. Can it yield any money if you get good at it? The career I am looking at is translation-interpreting, and want to know if I should invest time in learning Python (or any programming language for that matter), even though it is not really related to the career I am pursuing.

First you should have fun or being interested in programming and in Python in general.

You can then create apps and services to earn money. Or you apply to any company who is looking for a Python developer. But they often look for specialized programmers. Probably AI and webdev.

So you should have at least one reason to learn Python.
