    "JPMorgan", "Goldman Sachs", "McKinsey"
]
print("These companies HIRE Python skills FIRST:")

🏆 YOUR EXERCISE: Calculate Your Python ROI#

# Calculate YOUR time savings!
hours_per_report = 6  # Change to YOUR reality
reports_per_month = 8
months_per_year = 12
python_time = 0.2  # 12 seconds now!

manual_hours = hours_per_report * reports_per_month * months_per_year
time_saved = manual_hours - python_time

print(f"📊 Manual work: {manual_hours} hours/year")
print(f"⚡ Python work: {python_time:.1f} hours/year")
print(f"💰 TIME SAVED: {time_saved:.0f} HOURS!")
print(f"💸 At $25/hour = ${time_saved * 25:,.0f} VALUE CREATED!")

YOUR TURN: Change hours_per_report to your actual work → Screenshot your result!

Next: Setup Environment (Get Python running in 5 minutes → no IT department needed!)
