A few friends of mine are in various sorta-financial fields - insurance underwriting, and some sort of accounting thing. They're constantly amazed at how much of what they do could be automated... and then ignore us when we tell them that they should just spend a month picking up python and lessening their workload.

Then again, their computers are locked down pretty tight, and I guess if you write an app that does your job, you're basically proving to management that they don't necessarily need you.
