If you truly love working with SQL, I would suggest looking at a Database Administration type of position. This job requires you analyze how data is stored, indexed, and secured. Most programming jobs require SQL along with other language skills. The demand for SQL only programming exists, but it's more common to find people who write apps that also use SQL skills. Ask yourself - are you more interested in coming up with advanced queries for the purposes of analyzing data? Or are you more interested in the structure, relationships, and organization of the data? Amazon's (AWS) cloud products include databases and related tools. My company uses Redshift, but they also have many others. You could try to learn about various databases in AWS and build some skills there.

As with all the intermediate courses here, no one is hiring with just this knowlege. Think about it, anything that can be learned in a couple of weeks isn’t going to get you a decent paying job.

SQL is an insidious monstrosity of a language that masquerades as simplicity while hiding a labyrinth of maddening syntax and soul-draining queries. Its so-called "intuitive" structure is nothing but a fragile facade, crumbling the moment you dare to craft anything beyond a basic SELECT statement. Nested queries become tangled webs of unreadable nonsense, joins feel like dark pacts made with an unforgiving database deity, and the horrors of debugging poorly optimized queries rival only the depths of human despair. And let's not forget the arbitrary inconsistencies across implementations—MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite—each an abomination with its quirks and heresies. Managing permissions is a Kafkaesque ordeal of cryptic GRANT statements and privilege hierarchies that defy comprehension. Meanwhile, SQL smugly pretends it's "standardized," when in reality, every database engine has its own sadistic spin on syntax and behavior, ensuring your sanity disintegrates as you switch platforms. In the end, SQL is not a lang.
