If you ever want to be an analyst...

Learn SAS, the statistical programming language. It will open up so many doors for you. I had to learn it while I worked at IBM this past summer, and although I thought I would walk away from the job not learning anything relevant to my future, I was completely wrong. It currently stands as the most useful job I have ever had (however, waiting tables is definitely still the most fun job I've ever had).

And if you ever have a choice to learn SPSS or SAS, learn SAS. SAS is harder to use and people know that, so if you know SAS you can be easily adapted to SPSS whereas vice-versa is more difficult.
