I'm transitioning from restaurant management to a career in IT and I'm set to get my A+ certification while also applying to IT school. I want to know what programming languages are important to learn for roles specifically in IT Help Desk or System Administration. Any suggestions?

The IT field is pretty broad, but for Help Desk roles, I’d recommend focusing on PowerShell for Windows administration, Bash for Linux command line tasks, and Python for scripting and automation. SQL is super important too since it’s commonly used with databases. You don't need to master all these right away; just begin with PowerShell or Python based on what environment you'll be in and build from there.
Totally agree! Learning SQL is a must since you encounter it almost everywhere in IT.
