At work, if you already have an existing workflow or process that's repetitive and you have some level of familiarity with, start with that. You will already be clear about the outcomes you want.
VBA is nice in that since you are manipulating an Office product (usually Excel), you get to see what your code actually does in "real-time". Running the code line by line (Debug mode IIRC) helps.
Don't worry about it being "old", it's still useful in most corporate settings and like others have said, much of the concepts are transferrable. Myself I went on from VBA to other Microsoft products like Power Query and DAX.
One word of advice, always work on copies! Treat VBA processes as destructive and non-reversible!!! Last thing you want is to mangle "live" files beyond repair...
Have fun :)
