No, it won't be a big deal at all to learn and memorize bass clef. Right now I have to learn alto and tenor clef, and that's a little more challenging!

I like to use mnemonics as a tool to help my students learn to read music. I'll share one with you. For bass clef I always use these:

Lines (bottom to top):

G - Garbage (bottom line)
B - Bags
D - Don't
F - Fall
A - Apart (top line)

Spaces (bottom to top):

A - All (bottom space)
C - Cows
E - Eat
G - Grass (top space)
