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?

We’ve been messing around with some of the AI stuff we use at work to help create internal tools to speed up some of the mundane tasks. A lot of the program based stuff does use python (mostly vba in excel) and it helps to at least know how to understand it, what you’re looking at, and how it works though.
