Still normal?

I wonder, since I haven't had any experience yet, and they mainly teach us financial engineering with normal distributions, if these are still used in practice....

I would assume that non-gaussian distributions are ususally used, but am not sure.

Thanks for your cents

In case nobody understand what I mean... I mean like pricing with levy processes, etc. Like in the boyerchenko book . Since it is using entirely diffferent calculus, I just wonder if I had to prepare that stuff, too .
