I’ve never taken a relational algebra class in my life and neither have most dba’s. They learned sql by learning sql.

That's of course a perfectly good way to learn SQL and probably much cheaper. I'm not saying that you need relational algebra to write a query, that would be silly. I just mean that learning that stuff does stick with you.
