I'm 31, basically been working in mediocre finance transactional roles for years & never really had consistent work.

I'm at a stage where I know I have two options in front of me, learn new skills & adapt for the future... Or do nothing & fall behind.

I've been looking at coursera & Udacity a lot lately because I wanted to try learn some skills that could maybe get me out of finance, or begin to make a bridge out of the finance landscape, & get me more into tech, while also being able to increase my marketability & worth.

I don't have a computer science degree (only an accounting degree which I didn't really enjoy tbh) so I'm not a computer wizard, although i'm no scrub with computers & have had a lifelong interest in tech in general, from dealing with difficult software & some light Powershell use, to taking apart playstations or laptops to repaste thermals and stuff, you get the idea.

My question to you guys is, is the Udacity SQL course a worthwhile investment in your opinion?

Right now it's available at $170 for 2 months access of their nanodegree program & could be something useful to help get me moving forward.

But I don't really know the value of SQL in job markets, or it's usefulness across many careers.

Thanks in advance for any helps
