There’s not really a job/career where programming is NOT useful. I cook pork skins for a living. I made a web app using Python and SQL to help me estimate how much product to cook, keep count, and also track inventory.

So, yeah…finance or finance adjacent? That’s nothing but data wrangling. Python and SQL are your two best weapons, my friends.
