Maxpayne,

I think it is also about personal choice. It is not just about learning but also cracking an interview and surviving in the job! I have seen some friends extremely struggle everyday to survive, whereas others are striving well. 
 
If you do not have prior experience/knowledge and also do not have a very good interest in learning them, I suggest trying QA/BA/BI; if you dont have prior programming experience but do have a great deal of interest in it, go for it - obviously, you'll have to work hard and you might have to struggle initially to survive, but 'no pain, no gain' - the scope is higher.

Or, you can start from learning simple skills like QA/BA/BI, work in the field for about a year or two and then upgrade yourself to complex skills - that way, you survive well, learn the industry well, are confident and comfortable, and develop some background knowledge as to what skills you would like to learn and practice. If the upgrade doesnt work for any reason, you will still have your existing skill to depend on.

Good Luck!
