Visual Basic; useful for an analyst?

This is my first post so forgive me for my sins!

As part of my degree programme, I've the option to take an elective in Visual Basic. I'm aware that programming skills are particularly useful in analyst roles within IB and S&T. However, with so many programming languages in use, how relevant is VB in reality?

Thanks for all advice offered. :-)
