Would it make sense for an SEO who wants to create their own sites/work at a company (where someone else should be able to help out the SEO with the coding) make sense to learn coding in php&mySQL if he only wants to create a few small tools?

For example I want to create 2 small tools for a site I’m creating right now. Now it has me wondering: Should I spend my time learning php & mySQL, if the tool probably would only take a few hours to be created by somebody else? Actually, I’m the type of person who prefers learning and doing everything on their own, its not an issue of laziness, but I’m in college creating my own sites and already have another big interest in web analytics, so I’m trying to use my time wisely.

Does anybody know if there are sites where you can run a contest for something like that, or post jobs like that to college students? I’ve heard theres something like that for web design in general, maybe options like this exist for php, too?

How do you go about it?
