Before you decide
Demand is only one input
Learning effort
A year or more
Usually a year or more, often through a degree major or sustained project work.
Transferability
Broad
Useful across many roles and industries, so it keeps its value if your plans change.
Rising ads don’t mean you should learn this.
Your interests, the time you have and what people in the work tell you matter more. Effort and transferability are editorial estimates, not measurements.
