Can't go wrong with sql or python

Python

That’s what I was thinking! SQL + Python. Not sure if missing out on VBA or Java is something I’ll regret?

SQL first then Python or R not both. Stick to one and programming language and get good at it. After learn either tableau or power bi depending on your company.

What is a simple way to explain to my boyfriend that investing in equity with an expected return of 10% is better than paying off debt that is growing at a rate of 6%. He has student loans and is adamant that he wants to pay all of them off immediately before saving any retirement money. I understand that many individuals use this strategy but I think investing in index funds for the long haul is better from a wealth accumulation perspective, without even factoring in tax implications of 401k
