Maybe you need a career shift bud. As a designer you could absolutely use those softwares!

You didn't use any office apps during your time in school?

I use markdown and convert it to everything else. Using 360 products is painful, but I do what I have to only when I have to.

I use mainly python at work, but usually exit to excel to share the results to other people.

Capitalism somehow means managers know better than you how STEM work should be done. Sigh... get used to it if you want to continue.:-| Make some FOSS on the side for fun?:-)

They missed using Access incorrectly with too many users and too large of a database.

Python and Excel should be buff wojaks with brainlette heads, they get the work done but ughhhhh to using them.

I did computer science, and we used MIPS Assembly..

I ask you, when has anyone EVER wanted to use a MIPS processor lol.

Also, for AI, we were forced to use LISP, which the lecturer didn't teach. He graded us using a poorly written script, and if your program crashed his script, he gave you 0. You only got 1 attempt. But, when is the last time, ANYONE has used LISP either lol

And Perl.. And PHP, etc

I use python occasionally at work.

... Not IT approved, but well... we use an MSP, and I get to be a decision maker in the company for certain things, and just do it, because well.... I can, and the company keeps me around partially for the things I do with python and sql.

I would like to say Pandas should be used for much of that excel stuff, maybe even replace it, but... Microsoft has decided to bring Python capabilities into excel, so that will likely cement them in your workflow even further:
