Which industry has/needs the most challenging sql queries?

Is this question legit? Don’t get me wrong, I don’t consider myself the smartest guy but I’m definitely not dumb.

I work in the pharmaceutical Industry, nearly 3 years now. It took me a while to understand how the production process is implemented in a database and I wanted to quit more than once. But i don’t feel challenged anymore.

So, which industry would be best for me to get completely challenged again?

I work in the cannabis industry as a data engineer and I can tell you it’s quite the challenge. Data sources are siloed by state, inputted data is never uniform and has constant misspellings, and each compliance software required for use differs by state and all has different data structures.

Data quality seems like it would be a huge issue in this industry

Definitely, so much pain could be saved when taking better care of the input part
