Ask HN: Basic skills in Python, Pandas, Numpy, and Xarray; but am I employable?

For the past eight months I've been teaching myself Python and other tools, in order to create a rudimentary ocean drift trajectory model to support my thesis research (in maritime archaeology). I started from scratch, with a limited understanding of statistics, ocean physics, vector math, and Python, but the results work and I am now looking for a more structured apprenticeship/job path.

Do jobs exist for people with my skills at this level, or should I seek a formal qualification through a bootcamp or other program? I will happily look into recommendations for either. Thanks!
