my biggest question right now is where to learn backend stuff Most classes I've seen focus on HTML CSS Java/Javascript I found that I like python PHP SQL/NoSQL/Mongo things along those lines and most places don't have that in their focus

I think if you are drawn to the backend you absolutely should try and find ways to learn that technology.

Honestly SQL/NoSQL/Mongo is probably more than you even need to know early on as well. I have a pretty solid career and never really "learned" any of those in any deep way — especially Mongo.

It certainly doesn't hurt, but don't think you need to learn everything. If you learn Python + a web framework you'll kind of figure out what you need to learn from there as you go.
