Benefits of Learning SQL
Why learn SQL? Learning SQL is more than just another checkmark on your resume. Here are some benefits you might not have considered:
- Learn an in-demand skill for a competitive job market. Many employers prioritize applicants who have SQL skills, especially large companies that have mountains of data. SQL helps companies make insightful decisions from otherwise useless data.
- SQL is a universal language. That means that you’ll lay the foundation for learning other programming languages. SQL overlaps with other disciplines, so when you decide to specialize, you’ll have a head start.
- Honing SQL skills inspires longevity. SQL dates back to the 1970s, and it is now at the forefront of technological change. You may need to refresh your knowledge as things update, but SQL will always be useful in the data field.
