I do use python for my work, but I do my work for fun.
I'm at a point in my life where I wouldn't have to work if I chose not to, but if you stop working in my opinion you might just as well buy a Lily, get into a box and close the lid.
I have worked professionally as a software engineer (since 1968) in two separate fields:
Spectra-chemical Instrumentation design and development,
Telecommunications routing and call processing.
Plus a bit of CAD/CAM design thrown in.
In the past, (starting early 80's) C and C++ were language of choice.
I dabbled in python ever since it emerged in 1991
Beginning in 2013 I began using Python almost exclusively, for one reason (in the beginning), and that
was the plethora of packages on any subject you could think of (PyPi ). I still use C for some
electronics projects (I'm a licensed Amateur Radio Operator ( Ham ), and C is, In my opinion still
easier to use when tweaking bits).
I find Python a Joy to use, and learn something new everyday.
Hoping to continue for many more years.
