An immediate thought here is that learning data may be better than learning code. When I was just starting out I was an "admin assistant" at various companies - I lost track of the number of poorly structured Excel spreadsheets I found that contained all of the data required, but in a format that made them utterly impossible to parse programatically. Not that people shouldn't learn to code if they can. But learn to use Excel, and when you should turn that spreadsheet into a database. You don't need to learn a new programming language for that, just some broad concepts.
