You'll find no shortage of advice telling aspiring cybersecurity professionals to learn how to program—usually in Python. I humbly submit another language may serve you even better:

SQL.

Learning how relational data is queried, aggregated, and presented will translate to any number of processes.

@mttaggart I learned python, but to be real, I only have a basic understanding of SQL and proper data querying methods

although I'd say that tradeoff was nice, because I spent about 10 years programming and doing complex security work before I really ran into limitations with my knowledge of SQL, especially around exploits and cybersec stuff
