Java usage

Question

I'm near to finish Java, now I have learned Core Java, OOP, Interfaces, Collections , Exceptions handling, Streams and alright I'm learning Concurrancy it's near to finish advance Java and my next target will be Spring boot insha'Allah.
My question is here :
Can I have earning during spring boot learning just with above skills? Or after it ? Because I heard java is using for large scale applications and Systems and this will take long time to become a java professional and participate in large projects.
What is your council and recommendation for me due to your experience

Answer 1

You’re on the right track. With Core Java + OOP + Collections + Exceptions + Streams + Concurrency, you already have a good foundation.
Earning before Spring Boot, Yes, it’s possible, but usually through freelancing, small projects, tutoring, or internships. Many jobs will still expect knowledge of frameworks (like Spring/Spring Boot) since most real-world Java work is not just “plain Java.”
After Spring Boot your chances improve a lot. Spring Boot is widely used in web apps, APIs and enterprise systems, so combining your current skills with Spring Boot makes you much more marketable.
So, keep practicing small projects (banking app, todo app, REST API). Contribute on GitHub — it shows proof of skills. and don’t wait to be “100% professional” — apply for internships, freelance gigs, or junior roles while learning. Good Luck!
