Even if you're not interested in backend development, take this course. If you work a desk job, there is a very high chance that SQL is powering something you work on. Knowing how that works unlocks a lot of opportunities to improve your quality of life at work as well as learn a skill that you can put on a resume for anywhere you want to go next.
