Is learning n8n for automation workflows worth it for freelancing or getting a job in 2026?

Hi everyone,

I'm learning automation and AI workflows and I'm thinking about investing serious time in n8n.

My main goals are:

Getting freelance clients

Finding a remote or full-time job

Building AI agents and business automations

I already know some Python and I'm comfortable learning technical tools.

For people who are actually using n8n professionally:

Is there enough demand in the market?

Are clients willing to pay well for n8n projects?

Is it better to focus on n8n alone or combine it with Python, APIs, and AI tools?

If you were starting from scratch today, would you still choose n8n?

I'd love to hear real experiences rather than YouTube hype. Thanks!
