Is a career in office automation with VBA worth pursuing?
Basically for one reason or another as junior CS student i was hired in a company that does cost engineering and they relied HEAVILY on excel models (instead or software or the software is situational, the output is always excel).
I knew about macros but never explored them
1 year passes and now I'm a half competent VBA developer (half because I still lack the DB and networking skills that are not really needed where work)
I was thinking about pursuing this career because...excel is everywhere and a lot of stuff is easily and reliability automated.
To do an example I made a macro for a guy that made what was usually a 2 weeks job in a 4 days job and I kid you not a macro that in a few minutes does a week's worth of research and data entry (more reliability and accurately as I use API and I manipulate data instead of relying on a human)
But...I have no buisness degree (to be fair no degree at all) but I don't think I can sell myself as a programmer (like, for a strictly ""programming"" job) or a business analyst.
Do you think I could sell myself as that figure or should I pursue something else?
