Is it possible to teach myself Python and get a job in tech? This is probably a dumb ass question but how long would a decently technologically savy guy take to learn enough to land a job. I can work on my skills every day. Anyone coders out there that actually like their jobs?

The issue with Python is that learning the core language/libraries is not difficult at all. It's learning external libraries that is the core of "I know Python".
If you -- somehow -- know the specific libraries in use by a given company, then sure, you can probably bully your way into a job. But otherwise, they're going to measure your "ability to learn" based on the languages you already know, your ability to solve algorithmic problems, etc.

I say your chances are slim. You should have started when you were around the age of 6 or 7. You're an adult. Too old.

I wouldn't listen to the neckbeards. It's possible but you have got to hit it hard and show your future employer things you've built.

Yes

Yes.
But without a degree it will most likely be a code monkey position that will pay jack shit and be unfulfilling.
You should really get a degree if you have that option.

what's wrong with that? i have to learn less to achieve the same result compared to some other languages.

You could argue that it is in fact a race to the top
Joseph Perez
wrong
Blake Sanchez
woah shit you sure convinced me with those hot arguments
Daniel Brown
no, no one ever learned python
Luke Sullivan
Python's great, you can do almost anything with it.
Noah Moore
python is ass
Angel Cruz
I'd teach that girl the ways of my Python, if you catch my drift
Brayden Rogers

Sure no problem. First do this course, click on each topic, there's a video. Do all the assignments and labs too
cs.cmu.edu
Now, do this course
datasciencecourse.org
It's "full stack" practical data science. Experience with linear algebra, probability, and statistics is recommended, but not strictly required and you can teach this yourself from this free book: infinitedescent.xyz
Failing that just learn everything there is to know about some Python framework by being an open source contrib squashing bugs and writing features, somebody will hire you. Python is a shit language unless you're doing /sci/ things with it, like designing a program that will automatically configure database systems and optimize them using ML github.com
