It always astounds me how a bit of skill with Excel and a programming language have given me such a huge boost in every job I've worked. I'm an engineer, so the questions I typically encounter at work involve something amenable to empirical analysis. However, I suspect the ability to do even some semi-automation of routine tasks is probably a skill anyone could use.
Seconded -- knowing Excel is a great asset. Can't say that I like VBA (I'd prefer anything with C-like syntax), but it does the job once you figure out how to address the cells.
