For me it helps to have a project. I learned SciKit in order to analyze trading data to beat the "market". I was focusing on crypto but there's lots of trading data available in general. Unsurprisingly I didn't make any money, but it was fun to learn more about data processing, statistics, and modeling with functions.

(FWIW I'm crypto-neutral depending on the topic and anti-"AI" because it doesn't exist.)

Ha ha I got into genetic algorithms for the same reason, market prediction. Ended up exactly at zero in terms of net gains and losses - if you don't count commissions, anyway. :(
