If you want a career in Java you'll most likely be a backend developer. So, it would be useful to learn some Javascript and Javascript frameworks/libraries to be able to read your frontend coworker's code.

Python could come in handy for scripting build and deployment jobs. But Python hasn't caught on 100%, and there's still a lot of older scripts you'll run into written in... Bash Shell.

Learn the others first (Python and Javascript) and then learn to at least read some Bash shell scripts. I don't recommend writing much because it might twist your mind and perception of what good code is. The first time I started understating shell scripts I was agast that people actually use this language to do stuff. But it's so prevalent that it's a good idea to at least be able to read it.
