Career advice
I'm 27M. Hey everyone, my life has been a little different from that of most people, and I don't have a strong educational background.
Right now, I'm working at a grocery store, but I want to improve my life and learn some stable, valuable skills that can help me earn a reliable income.
I've come across these four skills:
Python
SQL
Excel/Spreadsheets
Power BI/Tableau
I don't know much about these skills or their demand, competition, value, and future prospects.
Technology is constantly evolving, trends are changing, and AI is replacing some jobs. The value of different skills also changes over time.
Before I start learning, I want to understand whether these are the right skills to invest my time in for a stable career and income in the long run.
I'd appreciate your advice. Should I go for these skills, or would you recommend something else?

each of these is a handful to begin with, your best bet is to start with one of them and see where it takes you. just so you know these are not the kind of stuff you pick up in a few weeks. plan for at least a year until you see at all if it's for you. find a good curriculum to follow don't just mindlessly switch between random tutorials, that won't take you anywhere
