I know companies that hire people that ”only” do mechanical. They don’t do any programming. Maybe some very basic scripting some of them. Just apply for jobs and see what is out there. You will never know everything there is to know anyway.

I'm not opposed to learning programming btw! it's just that I'm very lost on what's out there and wanted to know possible industries/jobs that I might not be aware of.

FWIW, the pure math and physics folks I know usually pick up programming very quickly and I've found that generally they're very strong at it.

Yeah, already touched the usual stuff: C++, Python, R...

But the question is what to do with that! haha

		Unfortunately, I think you have a lot of options. Having a lot of options makes it harder to choose what to spend time on and dive into. Might be worth some exploration into the different sides of software development and see if anything catches your eye. Best of luck!
