First, learn SQL.
Then you can do something else like java/python

You definitely need to start with SQL - it is necessary in any area and is not difficult to learn (up to a certain point). Most everyday economic problems are solved by basic operators, joins and aggregate functions with group by. To master programming skills, you can start with VBA, which allows you to write macros in Excel. By the way, if an economist may not need programming, then without Excel - nowhere.
