Python Paradox was written quite some time ago. Back then there were far fewer jobs for Python. python has become a lot more mainstream since then, hence your story of learning Python just for the sake of getting a job. IMHO, the idea of the Python paradox no longer applies to Python today.

One day people will start learning Haskell to get a job.
