General Use of ASM

hello everyone,

I am starting to learn ASM, and I was just curious what do most people
use ASM for? Is there a particular market that requires ASM
programming skills? I wanted to learn a lot about drivers, and my
friend suggested that I learn ASM to help me debug device drivers.. is
he accurate?

Thanks

.
