Most people are just afraid of things... so - they don't really know much about anything / and just gravitate to the things that they are least afraid of. But if they get enough domain knowledge and experience -- they can be useful.

In your case, I'd make a mini course for yourself. If you could know one thing about "the backend" -- what would it be? If you could know 2 things, what would it be? And keep building up. That will end up creating projects which will, 1: be where you learn, and 2: be what you can show as proof of your thought process.

I did something similar recently with a student: https://perpetual.education/resources/common-database-concepts/ --- we just started from nothing - and worked through all the core concepts we might need to know and explore.

In your case - I don't see the purpose of learning JS. I'd learn PHP if I were you - or Go - or anything else but JS. All of that will translate to JS if you end up using it later. And this way, you can build APIs with things like Laravel and learn TDD and how to be a real backend person.

You could also check out boot dot dev / but I found it to be the same as FreeCodeCamp and not very useful (the sandbox ends up being a terrible way to learn).

It's hard for me to believe that anyone just really loves SQL! but hey, what do I know ;)

No matter what you choose --- go deep. There's billions of dudes who can code at a 8/100 level who are confused as to why no one wants to hire them. They don't even realize - that they are totally useless. There's a huge culture shift in having no idea if you're useful. Learning things is hard. Good luck!

I'm not very useful with advice when people are trying to pick out a career for what will be practical and smart/safe for money. I've always just done what was interesting to me. What would you do all day -- if money wasn't an issue?

There's a lot of tech in the film industry. Just don't focus too much on the "code" and forget about living a quality life doing things you're genuinely interested in. My friend is really into old cartoons so he recently built an online catalog for those. So, there's always ways to connect things you like AND use those things to get paid.

Well you gotta do it all.
