I personally know all three. If you want to get into trading, python is extremely helpful. SAS is also great to analyze market data. I don't know how widely used it is within finance, but just from using it in class I can see how beneficial it would be. As for VBA, my proficiency is limited although it is great for creating models. Knowing these skills can only increase your odds in my opinion at becoming a fund manager. It will help you analyze data better and ultimately earn better returns. Hope this helps!
Also SQL is a good one to learn, makes working with databases much easier. Rstudio is a statistics-based language that could be useful as well. Definitely does not hurt to learn any.
